The SBEC 5th and 6th
grade choirs have really grown in size and ability over the last few
years. This year, the 5th grade choir has 24 members and the 6th
grade choir has 28 members. These groups meet separately, but sometimes
perform together. The 5th grade choir meets on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, and the 6th grade choir meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays. Both choirs perform for elementary chapels, Christmas and end of
year concerts, and they present programs at area nursing homes/retirement
communities during the school year.
In class, the students learn not
only how to perform, but also the fundamentals of correct vocal technique and
music reading. They learn proper breathing techniques, tone placement,
vowel shapes, and enunciating clearly. They also learn the basics of
reading music so that they can thrive at the Junior High and High School
level.
These choirs are non-audition
choirs. To join, all you need to do is to sign up at the end of the
school year!
