Our Choirs
Tyros
Pre-K - 2nd
Tyros, meaning a beginner or novice, is our PreK through second grade ensemble. Singers will engage in exciting 60 min music lessons that introduce the building blocks of music to them. Singers will learn about their voice, singing posture, vowels, and basic rhythmic and melodic concepts through listening exercises, pictures and visuals, movement, games, and small steps into musical notation. The Kodaly curriculum used will provide members of The Tyros with the opportunity to explore music in the following three ways:
​
1. Melodic – to match pitch alone and with others and develop their voices to match the melody of learned songs.
2. Rhythmic – to feel the steady beat and identify rhythms felt in both 2s and 3s through aural and visual exercises
3. Expression – to be moved by music in the many ways music can elicit an emotional response.
Each year, participating singers receive group instruction one time a week and perform at least 2 concerts a year (Fall Concert and Spring Concert - 1 per semester). No audition is needed for The Tyros singers in grades PreK-2. Space for The Tyros is limited.
Ensemble
3rd - 5th
Singers in third, fourth, and fifth grade sing in the Ensemble. Singers in Ensemble develop their musicianship through singing games, note-reading activities, and by focusing on traditional performance repertoire. Additionally, singers have opportunities to develop their leadership skills through small group activities all while participating in a safe learning environment where all are welcome.
Students in Ensemble rehearse once per week for approximately 90 minutes, and perform in two concerts per year.
Chorus & Bel Canto
6th - 12th+
Our Chorus & Bel Canto choir offers a comprehensive and enriching experience for young vocalists. Under the direction of Mr. McAllister, our singers develop strong vocal technique, healthy breath control, and a beautiful tone. We make learning music theory fun, giving you the tools to tackle any piece with confidence. Our diverse repertoire spans genres and cultures, from classical masterpieces to contemporary hits, ensuring you'll discover new musical favorites and continually challenge your vocal skills.
Beyond musical development, choir fosters a supportive and encouraging environment where you'll build lasting friendships with fellow singers and experience the joy of creating music together. No prior experience is necessary – we welcome all voices!
