Description
After a very successful first year, AFA’s Middle School Choral
and Voice program will once again provide Houston
area voice students with a unique opportunity to hone their vocal skills
and technique while performing a rich and diverse variety of repertory.
Students will perform in large choir and will take part in unique music
enrichment electives specifically targeted to the needs of young singers.
Enrichment electives include class piano, sight-singing and ear training
and studio voice class.
AFA Middle School Chorus
All students participate in the Chorus, performing a wide variety of
repertory in a cappella and accompanied settings. Participation
in the Chorus emphasizes preparation, concentration, imagination and
teamwork as part of the highest level of music making.
Studio Class
All students participate in a vocal studio class where they gain valuable
performance experience in front of groups and receive coaching from
the AFA faculty specific to their voice type.
Class Piano & Sight-Singing
AFA believes in the development of a “total musician” by
providing important academic training in voice taught by AFA’s
accomplished faculty. Class piano and sight-singing classes assist students
in improving their individual skills as well as their contributions
to the singing groups in which they take part.
