Children’s and Youth Chorus
Instructor – Peggy Wilson 11:00-11:55 for Youth Chorus (ages 11+) and 12:00 to 12:55 p.m. for Children’s Chorus (ages 6 to 10)
Chorus is a great way to expand musical skills. During the course of the year students will learn to read music from the printed page, acquire music theory skills, and prepare several concerts. The chorus will prepare a varied repertoire each semester to minister to our families and community and showcase their individual and collective talents. Past concerts have included Mozart’s Alleluia Canon, Gospel like I went down to the river to pray, Gershwin Medleys and various Broadway and Sacred pieces. This past year, our children’s chorus presented two mini-musicals: Stone Soup and Bugz.
We will endeavor to teach the musical and vocal skills necessary to produce a lifelong enjoyment of the creative arts. This includes teaching the fundamentals of proper choral technique (posture, breathing, diction, dynamic control, pitch control, rhythm, etc.) so that singers can sing properly. We desire to create a learning environment that is enjoyable and encouraging for all participants. We want to provide an opportunity for students and parents to develop lasting relationships with others within Joyful Noise.
Requirements: Your own voice and a teachable attitude.
