Chorus will meet daily for the entire year.  Students in seventh and eighth grade will place an emphasis on improving vocal tone and developing skills and increasing musical knowledge.  Chorus members will sing a variety of musical styles and selections.  Students will have the opportunity to participate in concerts, solos and ensembles, festivals and activities during the school year.  I am pleased to have a large number of students in seventh and eighth grade chorus this year. 

In Chorus, students are graded on their participation, effort, and behavior in class, their attendance at concerts, and written assignments.  Grades (A-F) will be used for grading chorus.  Please call me or send a note if your student is not able to attend a concert.  Students must actively participate in class and concerts.  Students must follow guidelines for concert behavior while performing and while listening.  Being a good audience includes, staying in their seat and listening to others perform without being disruptive or talking, and clapping appropriately.  During their part of the concert, students must actively participate, have good singing posture, not have gum, pay attention to the director, and follow guidelines which we will practice to present the best concert possible.

Chorus students will study basic music theory.  These include: rhythm reading, note names, note reading and musical signs and symbols.  Students will also learn about music history and musicals. 

Chorus classroom guidelines are:  Be on time for class. Be respectful, courteous and cooperative to others. Follow BSMS rules.  Everyone must participate.  No talking while we are singing.
