South Sound Youth Choir
Megan Oberfield, Director
A treble choir for singers in 3rd through 8th grades. Weekly rehearsals are Mondays from 4:30-6:00pm at Christ Episcopal Church. Tacoma. Auditions for the Fall 2018 season are August 13 and 27, 2018. Rehearsals begin Monday, September 10.
A skillfully designed and administered curriculum of top-quality musical literature and educational activities invites and inspires young singers to become confident choral musicians. A playful, sequential and developmentally appropriate approach to instruction encourages students to apply higher-order thinking skills as they learn music theory and develop musical artistry. Individuals are guided and challenged to achieve a broad and deep understanding of music and are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their own learning and the success of the ensemble.
Rehearsals begin with warm-ups designed to focus attention, develop healthy vocal technique and build music literacy skills. We then apply what we've learned as we prepare a wide variety of concert literature. Rehearsals are fun, fast-paced, and often include skill and community-building games and activities.
