Music Programs
Choir & Advanced Choir
What to Expect Children who want to join the choir should be ready to commit to working hard and being dedicated to their fellow choir members. Throughout the year, we will learn many pieces of music and also develop skills such as listening and blending with other choir members, following directions, singing in a healthy manner, forming proper vowels and enunciating, pronouncing different languages correctly, reading written music, and mastering numerous other fundamental principles of singing. Who can join The Choir is organized into two groups based on age and skill. Choir: Open to any 2nd- 8th-grade students Advanced Choir: Advanced Singers from 6th – 8th grade (by audition). Choir membership may also be open to the children of parish families not enrolled at Holy Angels. Please get in touch with the Choir Director for more information. |
Music Class
The study of music should be to the sense of hearing what the study of art is to the sense of sight. It should cultivate the power of that form of attention known as listening. The study of music should complement the study of history, e.g., in the movement from Gregorian chant to polyphony. Children should learn the ‘aesthetics of number’ and learn to ‘hear number’ through learning harmony and measure. Students should learn and experience how music expresses the mystery of God. The spirit of adoration should be cultivated through acquaintance with the tradition of sacred music, chants, and hymnody.
