Forest Dale Elementary School – ADVANCED CHORUS (L)

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Advanced Chorus (Select Sound) provides students with opportunities to develop musicianship and specific performance skills through ensemble and solo singing. Select Sound is a mixed choir of students in grades 10 through 12, focusing on a acapella singing. Activities foster the development of a quality repertoire at an advanced level, reflecting the diverse styles of choral literature that are appropriate in terms of difficulty and range for the students. Select Sound provides instruction in creating, performing, conducting, listening to, and analyzing music, in addition to focusing on specific subject matter. Additional emphasis is placed on sight-reading, critical listening skills, vocal technique, and music theory. Students have the opportunity to experience live performances by professionals during and outside of the school day. A large amount of time, outside the school day, may be scheduled for dress rehearsals and performances. A large number of public performances may serve as a culmination of daily rehearsal and music goals. Students must participate in performance opportunities, outside of the school day, that support and extend learning in the classroom. Select Sound performs at all Choral Division concerts as well as a large number of public appearances.
