* All Chorus Students: The children’s and youth choruses have been invited to sing with the renowned Boston-based group, "Sol y Canto" when they appear at the Lebanon Opera House in concert on May 4, 2007. The singers will be the "opening act" and will then sing with the group on selected songs in Spanish. The spring session WILL require students to practice on their own between rehearsals (with the help of a rehearsal CD) and MAY require extra rehearsals.

 

UVMC Programs & Faculty - Children & Youth Chorus

 

All Chorus classes are taught by Becky Luce and Carol Hartman.
Classes are held in the
Ray School Music Room in Hanover, NH.

Children’s Chorus

Singing is a wonderfully natural way for children to experience music. In this class, your child will learn the basics of singing - focusing on singing in tune, developing the child’s voice, unison and simple two-part music. This is an environment of FUN! No auditions necessary!

Rehearsals: Thursdays 3:30 - 4:30PM

Second Semester: starting January 17, 2008

Please note: Children who attend the Ray School may come to the music room right after school only if a parent provides supervision. In previous years, parents have worked out a rotating schedule for this. Kindergarten students admitted on a trial basis, with verbal permission of director.


Youth Chorus

Further development of the singing voice and group singing skills. In this course, the music becomes more challenging. For treble voices only.

Rehearsals: Fridays 3:45 - 5:15PM

Second Semester: starting January 18, 2008


UVMC has been well-represented at recent choral events all over the nation! In February of 2005, Meg Fauver, Rebecca Norton, Scelza and Rebekkah Schweitzer travelled to Los Angeles to participate in the American Choral Director’s Association’s National Honors Choruses. Meg was chosen for the first-ever Children’s Chorus, while the other three sang in the Junior High chorus.

In 2006, Connor Schon, Jacob Lenz and Gus White were selected for the ACDA’s Eastern Division Children’s Honor chorus and spent several days in New York City singing their hearts out.

And finally, each year the Vermont Chapter of ACDA hosts a Children’s Honor Festival in which several of our singers participate. In April of 2006, Miriam Whittington, Sammie Clerkin, Jacob Lenz and Meg Fauver all spent two days in Rutland, Vermont, singing with several other singers from Vermont and New Hampshire.

These students are using the skills learned in the UVMC choruses and singing with some of the best children’s choral conductors in the nation. Congratulations to all of these performers for their accomplishments
