The Harper Chorus is a traditional choral experience using a wide variety of musical styles, from folk and classical to popular music. The students will learn to sing in unison and in parts while learning to work together as an ensemble. There will be opportunities throughout the year for solos and small group experiences. Members will study the fundamentals of singing, learn the language of choral music, and prepare for public performances.
Rehearsal Schedule
1. The Harper Chorus rehearses Tuesday (3rd and 4th graders) and Thursday mornings (2nd, 3rd and 4th graders) before school from 7:50-8:30am in the auditorium. Our first winter rehearsal will start on Tuesday, January 24th, 2023 (3rd and 4th grade) and Thursday, January 26th, 2023 (2nd grade).
