The Advanced Choir and Orff Ensemble is intended for students in grades 4 - 6.
No audition is required, and students do NOT need to have been members of Training Choir in order to join Advanced Choir and Orff Ensemble.
Rehearsals: Thursdays from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
The Advanced Choir and Orff Ensemble combines two wonderful musical elements: instrumental exploration along with a quality choral experience. Students in this ensemble with have the opportunity to express themselves through Orff instruments and their natural instrument - the human voice! We will be learning engaging and age-appropriate repertoire to foster music literacy skills, healthy vocal development, and musical expression. Our song selections will include choral literature, instrumental pieces, and an exciting combination of both. This will allow our students the opportunity to accompany themselves and others. In addition to our ensemble repertoire, we will explore weekly warm-ups, sight-reading activities, and improvisation exercises. The Orff instruments will include Xylophones, Metallophones, Glockenspiels, and other small percussion (provided during class). Please join us for an exciting hour of music making!
