Overview
Intermediate vocal students will perform in choirs, small ensembles and music dramas. Students develop performance skills through the Intermediate Vocal Ensemble, which emphasizes literature that is appropriate for adolescents. Vocal Arts students also participate in an opera-workshop class. Solo and small ensemble skills are combined with experiences in theatre to create an operetta production.
Details
- Intermediate Vocal Ensemble performs advanced choral literature for young vocal musicians. All students in this ensemble are enrolled in the Vocal Arts Program.
- Intermediate Choir is a larger ensemble experience that includes singers from across the camp.
- Sight-singing and music theory classes improve all-around musicianship skills.
