Everyone has a voice, and this course WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO USE YOUR VOICE to create beautiful music. As a team, you will receive vocal training that enables you to become a good singer. Students are always singing in a big group, so don’t be shy! If you have 2 OR MORE YEARS of choir experience in and out of school, then you may select to become a part of our advance vocal ensemble. This is an opportunity to study repertoire that require mature singers with advance techniques and there is an opportunity to be featured with a solo in one or more of the ensembles music. You will learn a variety of musical repertoire and perform in many events in and out of school. This ensemble will represent John Oliver in competitions and music festivals while being eligible to participating in our music program trips (extra-curricular).
It is recommended that students take choir for 2 years and become a section leader before enrolling in the 24 Karat Jazz Band. This experience will help provide you with the skills of reading music, vocal technique and performing experience necessary to be a success in the Jazz ensemble.
