CHOIRS
AGES 6 - 7
Let’s begin singing! These are our youngest singers in the Nashville Notes sequence of choirs. They spend time finding their beautiful singing voices, how to feel and create a steady beat, and how to move expressively to recorded masterworks. Occasionally they play simple percussion instruments and may be accompanied by piano or guitar. Grace Notes Choir perform in the Christmas and Spring concerts.
All Grace Notes Choir students are encouraged to take the corresponding Music Foundations class for a complete music education experience.
Please see the Course Catalog for more details.

The Bridge Choir continues to strengthen singing, rhythm, and aural skills while exploring more advanced musical concepts. Our repertoire includes rounds, partner songs, and two-part harmony – plus an introduction to singing in foreign languages! Students will also begin reading choral octavos at a basic level, and some lyric learning at home will be necessary to prepare for performances.

AGES 12 - 19
Singing 2, 3 and 4-part music, students continue learning and practicing healthy vocal technique and singing posture. Choristers learn about the changing voice and explore new ways of using their voices as they go through vocal transition. “Movable Do” solfeggio is used in order to build sight-reading skills and a strong emphasis on the development of listening skills essential for a high quality ensemble sound. We sing a variety of music styles in English as well as world music selections in other languages.
At this level students are expected to practice at home between rehearsals, logging their practice time daily into their notebooks. Daily vocalizing is expected of JH members; each singer's dedication to regular practice strengthens individual vocal performance and thus improves the choir's sound. JH performs at the Christmas and Spring Concerts.
