Emphasis is placed on elevating music reading skills and performance techniques to an advanced level through standard and custom choral literature. Students in this class should have previous choral ensemble experience. The students in this class should exhibit solid music reading skills and have a working knowledge of vocal techniques. Participation in the All-State and Mid-State choral auditions is encouraged and emphasized. Private vocal instruction is encouraged.
