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.
