Vocal Jazz 9-12

Vocal Jazz meets before school once a week, and once and a while at lunch as needed.  Students must be enrolled in Concert Choir to be in Vocal Jazz. Students are introduced to vocal jazz style, form and listening skills. The student will learn vocal jazz articulations, singing techniques, improvisation skills, and microphone techniques. This is a high profile, performance-oriented course. Participation in performances and rehearsals is required; they may occur in the evenings and sometimes take place away from the school. A high level of motivation and commitment is required.
