CMS CHORUS

Chorus (Semester) Grades 7 and 8 This course is open to all students, no matter the level of experience: no audition is necessary. Students in chorus will learn to sing various styles of music from different time periods (classical to contemporary) as well as learn the basics of how to read music. Performances and rehearsals will be required throughout the school year, both during the school day and in the evening. Field trips/competitions will be open to those who qualify.

Honors Chorus (Year) Grades 7 and 8 Selected by Audition This course is designed for the serious, advanced singer. Students must audition the previous school year to enter this class. Students will learn advanced music, theory, and history. Students will also learn proper techniques for solo and ensemble singing that will prepare them for upper-level choirs at the high school. This group will have more opportunities to perform and travel than the other choirs at CMS. By auditioning and signing up for Honors Chorus, the student and parents are making a commitment to be in the program for an entire year.
