The Southwest Middle School Chorus is open to any student in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. The classes are non-auditioned and do not require previous experience. Chorus is a year long Encore class. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to sing with proper vocal technique by singing a wide variety of music.
Students also learn music reading skills using Kodaly syllables and hand signals. Because reading music is a skill, it is practiced in class everyday. Students also have the opportunity to perform together in concerts at school and throughout the community. In addition to the class and concerts, students have the opportunity to participate in cultural field trips to see musical productions throughout the state.

Check out the website! Assignments are seperated by grade level. Assignments might be similar in name, but there might be different aspects that different grades do not have to complete, so make sure you are looking at the correct section for your assignment. Also, a new aspect, I will be blogging throughout the week about things we can do better as well as aspects that we might need to go back over, or reaffirm our thoughts about.
