Semester Course
Choir 8 is a one-semester course in learning the fundamentals of singing, and music notation-reading through singing choral music in an ensemble. Concepts taught will include vocal technique, group singing technique, sight-singing, and musicianship. Students learn pieces from a variety of genres, including the pop, folk, and classical traditions, in which they will sing often in three parts. The semester’s major project is a performance at the Winter or Spring Arts Festival.
Enrollment in a ZIS choir is required for students who wish to audition for the AMIS Middle School Honor Choir.
