Dolores Gonzales Elementary – Mixed Choir I

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

The student enrolled in Mixed Choir I develops musicianship and basic performance skills through ensemble and solo singing. Activities in the class are designed to give the singer basic experience in diverse styles of beginning choral literature. The difficulty and range of the music is tailored for novice singers. Instruction is designed so that the student is able to connect, examine, imagine, define, try, extend, refine, and integrate music study into other subject areas. Mixed choir provides instruction in basic vocal development, performing, listening and analyzing music, focusing on the specific text being sung. He/she is encouraged to take private voice lessons to facilitate his/her vocal improvement. Public performances serve as a culmination of daily rehearsal and musical goals. Literacy is integrated throughout the course.
