Prelude
Vivace Choir is our advanced treble choir for singers in grades five through twelve who exhibit excellent rehearsal habits, advanced literacy /vocal skills and display exceptional maturity. The choristers in this group enjoy the challenge of tacking high quality unison, two, three and four part treble repertoire. Vivace Choir choir tours every other summer (even years).
Bella Voce, an SATB chamber ensemble, consists of 24 young men and women that desire the opportunity to tackle sophisticated mixed voice literature in an intimate choral setting. All female voices invited to sing in Bella Voce are required to sing with the Vivace Choir. Attendance is critical is a chamber group, therefore no singer can miss no more than four rehearsals per year.
Bel Canto Choir is an intermediate level choir for students in grades three through five. The choristers in this group continue to develop their music literacy skills, study unison/two part treble literature and develop a keen understanding of healthy vocal production. Our goal at this stage is to ensure that they have all the tools necessary to function autonomously and artistically in any choir setting.
Amabile Choir is a training level choir for students in grades one and two. The choristers in this group focus on developing a healthy unison sound, sight reading skills, beginning part singing and excellent rehearsal habits. Our goal at this stage is to instill a love of singing in a joyful, encouraging and energized environment.
Prelude provides a creative and nurturing environment for our youngest singers (PK/KDG) to experience the joy and wonder of making music together. Immersed in a musical experience as fun and engaging as it is educational, singers in Prelude will be guided to become TUNEFUL (to be better able to hold tunes in their heads and repeat them), BEATFUL (better able to feel
and sustain a beat) and ARTFUL (more receptive to the ideas and feelings expressed in music). Each session students will explore the rich history of American folk music and rhymes through singing, playing, moving and creating.
