Chorus
Unified and joyful voices bring God glory.
The chorus program at Wesleyan shepherds our youngest vocalists into refined practitioners. Through solo, small group, and chorus-wide rehearsing and performing, Wesleyan students in kindergarten through twelfth grade deepen their passion for song- and sometimes their voice too!
Psalm 98:4
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!"
K-4th
In lower school music, students in kindergarten through fourth grade discover and explore their talents through a variety of listening, playing, and singing skills. Students apply their skills weekly at lower school chapel and annually during performances at the fall lower school program and grade-level musicals.
Lower school students may also enroll in private music lessons.
5th-8th
Middle school students explore semester-long and full-year chorus courses for students in fifth through eighth grade. With a focus on developing each student's unique (and often changing!) voice, students learn sight-reading, theory-practice, and music analysis. Each middle school chorus performs two or more times per semester with shows both on- and off-campus, including an annual trip to Six Flags or Disney!
9th-12th
In high school, ninth through twelfth grade students refine their vocal skills in Chamber Singers. In this full-year chorus course, students focus on sharpening breath control and support, vocal diction, tone, and style. By sampling a wide repertoire of genres, including classical, folk, and jazz, students develop music literacy skills. Chamber Singers perform two or more times per semester with shows both on- and off-campus.
