The Vocal Ensemble is a dynamic, year-long course open to students in Grades 9 to 12. Meeting twice a week, this ensemble focuses on building strong vocal techniques through an engaging repertoire of vocal jazz and contemporary music. Students will have the opportunity to participate in vocal clinics and perform at various events throughout the school year. Students will learn to sing with microphones and collaborate with a rhythm section. As this is a small ensemble, prior singing experience—such as participation in choirs or private lessons—is required, as students must confidently perform individual parts. Students are also strongly encouraged to join the Concert Choir to further support their participation in this ensemble.
