Acerca del coro de preparación
In SFGC’s Prep Chorus, singers are introduced to unison choral music and beginning vocal technique through a variety of songs, genres, and musical games. Through weekly 45-minute classes, students build foundational skills in reading from a choral octavo while strengthening their listening and memory skills.
At the end of the school year, students participate in a final performance as an opportunity to share what they learned and practice their stage presence!
After completing Prep Chorus, students ages 6 and older are eligible to advance to SFGC’s Ensemble B for singers ages 6-8.
How Can Prep Chorus Benefit My Child?

Expression: Music classes provide a creative outlet that will serve students throughout their life, allowing them to explore their emotional lives in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
Self-confidence: The final performance instills self-confidence and stage presence, setting students up for comfort in future public speaking.
Social Skills: Students practice teamwork and cooperation in rehearsal and group singing, building friendships in the process.
