back to Combined Stuff

Assignments are found on your individual page and combined page. Because of the nature of music, the goal of every vocal assignment is to receive an A ( 100% - no mistakes, all concepts demonstrated). A few students will sing 'tests' flawlessly - with practice. More will need to practice and practice and practice until it is perfect ;-) -- or extremely close!!!!!!

The given mark of ' F' will be recorded until the student can demonstrate required performance practices in any song or portion of a song.

 

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO READ ENTIRE PAGE OF INFORMATION

Please come already dressed in choir attire and go to assigned rooms for other accessories and warm-up.

Stay quiet at all times: save your energy for singing.
