1303390_2016_BPSFE_HS_MUS_CHORUSREGISTERSPECIFIC4HONORS.fl.brevard
Course Information:
| Course Number | 1303390 | COURSE DESCRIPTION: Students build and refine technical and expressive skills through the study, rehearsal, and performance of high-quality literature for singers in a similar vocal range. As singers explore three- and four-part literature in its historical and cultural context, they develop advanced musicianship and choral ensemble skills. In keeping with the rigor expected in an Honors course, students undertake independent study that includes synthesis of learning and experience. Public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom. |
