I070 Chorus C1
The CRLS Chorus is open to all students, with or without singing experience. It is designed for students who are interested in learning the fundamental principles of ensemble choral singing. We will explore 2-, 3-, 4-part and a cappella singing formats from a variety of periods and styles of choral literature, including classical, jazz, Gospel, and popular. Emphasis will be placed on proper singing techniques, ear training, and basic music theory. Students electing this course will be expected to participate in
events at which the Chorus performs, including, but not limited to, concerts, festivals, competitions, and assemblies. Students are encouraged to repeat this course in consecutive semesters and over multiple years to continue development of their vocal performance skills.
