The materials requested have multiple purposes in our chorus classroom. First, we will use the repertoire books to expand our music library, exposing students to a wide variety of musical styles, genres, languages and eras. Second, students will improve their listening skills within the ensemble. Using the whisper phones, students will be able to hear their voices clearly within the ensemble and be able to focus on expression such as dynamics, articulation, pronunciation and enunciation. Students will also be able to hear if they are singing correct vowels and pitches. The warm up and canon books will help refine our part singing abilities and allow students to really see how the parts fit together. Finally, we will work on our musicianship using the sight singing and sight reading materials. Good choral singers should be able to look at a piece of music and audiate or "sing it in their head" before hearing it played or sung. Sight reading and sight singing help hone those skills. Overall, the materials requested will help our singers become more well-rounded performers of choral music and music theory experts!
