Kempsville High – MU 9280: Madrigal/Vocal Ensemble

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The standards for High School Choral Music, Advanced Level enable students to build upon the skills and knowledge acquired at the intermediate level. As students perform choral works and sight-read music, they expand their performance abilities and creativity. Students continue to use a creative process to develop, compose, and refine personal choral music ideas, and to document research, inquiry, and analysis of a focused choral music topic of personal interest. Through the collaborative environment of the choral setting, students develop an understanding of teamwork and leadership skills. Students research career options in music and the variety of careers that involve skills learned in music. They investigate cross- disciplinary connections to identify how music works with other disciplines to develop innovative solutions to inquiry-based problems. Opportunities are provided for students to participate in local, district, regional and state events as appropriate to level, ability and interest. After-school rehearsals and performances are required of all students. Content in this course changes annually; therefore, this course may be repeated.
