Preparatory Choir
Membership in the Arts Academy Choirs is offered after an interview with the choir director. Please call the Arts Academy office to express your interest in scheduling an interview. Choir students will learn to sing with healthy vocal production using the finest literature available for young voices. The repertoire will be varied to include many styles including classical, folk, and musical theater. Performance skills, staging, and choreography will be taught and incorporated in preparation for concerts. Choir rehearsals are held on Monday evenings in Presser Hall on the UMHB Campus.
