Chorus

Middle school chorus in formal attire

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!

High school chorus performance

 

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.
