    Description
    This course is for the study, rehearsal, and public performance of music for the vocal ensemble. Musicianship skills will be introduced and practiced daily using concert literature and sight reading exercises in four parts, employing solfeggio, rhythmic drills, and the identification of key signatures and tonal centers. A regimen of practical physical and vocal warm-ups will be used to support good vocal health. Students will be able to sing in a choral setting using proper technique, including balance and tone. This class is open to music and non-music majors and reinforces sight singing skills taught in Musicianship courses. C-ID MUS 180
