Within the Chorus strand, students will learn about teachniques of ensemble singing, such as posture, breathing, vowel formation, and diction. Along with additional teachings, students will have many opportunities to express their skills, such as concerts on school campus and occasionally off.

There are two levels of choral at JHMS, Level 1 and 2. Level 1 introduces students to the basic skills mentioned above, and Chorus 2 will learn more advanced techniques and repertoires. There are also 3 levels of vocal technique classes, in which students will learn solo and group repertoire, and students will learn art songs in English, French, German, and Italian!

Choral students are expected to participate in all activities assigned to their respective choral ensemble and demonstrate a high degree of musicianship in performance and sight-reading.
