Level 2
Description: Second year choristers ready for the next step in development. Director: Layrssa Sadoway Performances can be any day of the week, although we try not to schedule many on Sunday mornings. Most performances are at night and on Saturdays. Since we are trying to reach other children with music and music education, we do several school performances during the year. Every effort is made to schedule these performances so the chorister loses a minimum of school time. Many schools recognize this as independent study. There are permission slips available in the chorus office and a cover letter explaining our organization. Each semester we have two concerts of our own, the Winter Concert and the Spring Concert. These are wonderful and inspiring concerts with each level performing and a mass-performance of all levels. Do not be afraid to ask teachers, neighbors or anyone with a love for music and children. These concerts are very professional, and the audience is guaranteed to be touched and amazed at the accomplishments of the choristers and their music. Mini Tours: Some years we do a Spring tour to 3 area schools. Dates are posted on your calendar and in the monthly newsletter. Expectations: To learn music in a timely manner. Practice with a tape recorder. Curriculum: Next step in theory, sight singing intervals, rhythm and reading techniques. Emphasis on breathing, ear training, diction, focusing, two-part harmony. More emphasis on performance skills than Level 1.
