This class serves as a first introduction to healthy singing, ear training, and music literacy.  Students will build a strong foundation in rhythm and pitch accuracy, will gain familiarity with the musical staff, and will establish good singing habits that will allow them to sing freely and healthily throughout their lives.  Each class will include fun vocal warmups, some quick work in our workbooks and music theory games, and time spent singing music together.  Music is specifically tailored to this age group and to support the musical concepts that we’ll be learning.

This class teaches the fundamental skills necessary to have a fun and successful experience in a choral setting.  Students will learn healthy singing technique, solfège and basic intervals, reading music, diction, and ensemble skills such as blend, stagger breathing, and harmonization.  Short listening assignments will expose students to the breadth of sounds and styles in the choral world.  Students from this class may be invited to join the homeschool choir, which will be offered in a future term.
