while performing a rich and diverse variety of repertory. Students will
perform in a large mixed 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. Read about the 2010 Featured
Clinician who will be conducting the Chorus here.
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. |
