The goal of choral singing is to make music together. Singing in a choir can be a transformative experience, with students and conductor working as a team to create something beautiful. Singing in a school choir can help you to become a more independent musician, a stronger singer, and a more confident student. During the year, we will explore the following objectives and questions together: Course Objectives - At the end of the year: · Students will be able to sing (alone, in small ensembles, and with the large ensemble) using appropriate vocal techniques · Students will demonstrate, through performance, musical and vocal concepts such as breathing, posture, registration, and musicianship. · Students will perform a variety of musical styles and genres, in class and in concert, connecting the repertoire to concepts from other disciplines, their own lives, and their community. · Students will read, interpret, and perform rhythmic and pitch notation using a variety of methods, especially hand sign solfege. · Students will read and interpret music symbols related to dynamics, tempo, articulation, etc.
Essential Questions: · What is proper vocal technique? Breath support? Posture? · How do we prepare our bodies for singing, and why is this important? · How do we use solfege and syllables to decode music, and how does this help in performing repertoire? · How does our repertoire connect to other subjects, topics, and your daily life? |
