Full year
Chamber Choir is appropriate for intermediate and advanced-level treble voices.
In Chamber Choir, students will continue to work on vocal technique and sight-singing. Members are expected to practice regularly and develop skills and knowledge about challenging choral music. Like Concert Choir, the repertoire will draw on a wide variety of works, including modern, classical, religious, and foreign-language pieces. The Chamber Choir collaborates with other ensembles in the Middle School.
Opportunities to perform in solos and small groups are available but optional. Chamber Choir will perform at public HKIS concerts, MS gatherings, and public venues outside the school throughout the year.
Students will:
- Develop vocal technique, especially pitch-matching, harmonization, and vocal technique
- Learn to read and write musical notation
- Produce high-quality, energetic performances for a variety of audiences, including concerts and assemblies
- Be required to attend occasional after-school rehearsals and evening performances and festivals at school and outside school.
Pre-requisites/notes: Students wishing to register for Chamber Choir must arrange an audition and interview with the MS Choral Director. Candidates should have at least one year of singing experience.
