HSES Chorus



The HSES Chorus Club is offered to our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students as an after-school club each Fall. Students who are in Chorus Club will meet in the music room at 2:30 each Tuesday afternoons. After snack, students will rehearse from 2:45 - 3:30 and then students will be picked up in the car-rider line at the front of the school. They will have several chances throughout the semester to perform at various school functions and in the community. 

Chorus provides an opportunity for students to develop their musical potential and aesthetic understanding through singing in an ensemble. Students in Chorus Club will learn about the importance of proper breathing through warm-ups and singing exercises. They will practice their singing skills as they perform a variety of repertoire from many historical periods and even foreign languages. They will improve their score-reading skills and learn the importance of responsible rehearsal habits. Most importantly, they will grow both musically and personally for the lifelong pursuit and enjoyment of music!
