Choir & Singing
Find your voice, sing favorite songs, and make music together!
Grades K–8
Course description
What students make and do
Sing, move, and make music together! Students explore their voices through musical games, vocal warm-ups, and songs from a variety of styles. They practice pitch, rhythm, breathing, and clear lyrics while learning to blend their voices and bring songs to life. Group rehearsals build expression, timing, and stage presence as students prepare a short choir performance. No audition or previous singing experience is needed. Just bring your voice!
- Echo melodies and play musical rhythm games
- Practice breathing, posture, and clear lyrics
- Sing together with shared entrances, endings, and expression
- Explore rounds and simple harmony as ensemble skills develop
- Bring songs to life in a choir performance!
Sample program path
How the course can develop
- 01Discover the singing voice through warm-ups, echo songs, and steady-beat games
- 02Match short melodies and learn a song phrase by phrase
- 03Develop clear lyrics, comfortable breathing, and musical expression
- 04Listen, blend voices, and follow the conductor’s cues
- 05Build an ensemble arrangement with rounds or additional parts as appropriate
- 06Rehearse and share a short group performance
How we adapt it
Adapted for age, experience, and schedule.
Younger groups learn through short songs, movement, repetition, and call-and-response. Older groups work with longer phrases, more detailed interpretation, rounds, and simple harmonies. Beginners build pitch matching and ensemble habits; experienced singers take on additional parts and musical leadership. Short formats prepare a shared song, while longer programs develop a small collection of songs for performance.
