Training Division / Ages 13-18
Teens
For singers aged 13 and up, our Teen division provides a dynamic and challenging environment where they can hone their vocal skills, deepen their musical understanding, and explore a diverse range of choral repertoire.
Building upon the foundations laid in earlier divisions, Teen singers delve into advanced vocal techniques, intricate harmonies, and complex rhythms, developing their artistry and musicianship. Through a comprehensive curriculum that encompasses music theory, sight-singing, and performance practice, they gain a sophisticated understanding of the choral art form.
Teen singers also have the opportunity to collaborate with renowned composers and guest artists, further enriching their musical experience and broadening their artistic horizons. As they progress, they'll discover their unique vocal identity, cultivate their expressive potential, and embrace the transformative power of music. They will also have the opportunity to share their musical achievements with family and friends in our beloved Holiday Harmonies and Spring Sings concerts, showcasing their growth and artistry.
