EDMOND YOUTH CHORUS
We are looking forward to the upcoming 2009-2010 chorus season! Whether your child is a seasoned singer with experience or your child is beginning to sing and would like to learn to sing in a chorus, the Edmond Youth Chorus is an exceptional opportunity.
The Edmond Youth Chorus is an honor chorus for boys & girls who will be in the 4th to 7th grades in the fall. The chorus will begin its 24th year in August.
Members of the Edmond Youth chorus rehearse on Mondays from 4:30 - 6:00
pm at the new FAI building at 27 E. Edwards.
The first rehearsal will be August 24th.
Chorus
members receive vocal instruction and learn a wide range of selected
music such as contemporary, sacred, folk, patriotic, seasonal, and
classical. Choreography is developed for some songs and mallet and
percussion instruments are used. New ideas and music are presented each
year. Many children audition and remain in the chorus for four years.
Leah
McDonald, music teacher at Cross Timbers elementary and former Edmond
Teacher of the Year, will serve again as the Director of the Edmond
Youth Chorus which is sponsored by the Fine Arts Institute.
Leah
is passionate when it comes to music and children and we are thrilled
she will share her talent with us," states Mitzi Hancuff, Executive
Director of the FAI.
"I do my best to fill students and chorus
members with a life long love of music. Music and art enhance
self-esteem, self-awareness and foster understanding between cultures,"
says Leah McDonald.
At the
auditions children will be asked to sing a familiar tune and will be
given music patterns to sing. Four children may sing together and
individually during the five-minute audition.
The Chorus year
is from August 24 through April 26. The chorus performs at community
functions from October through April and has a Spring Concert in April.
The ideal size for the chorus is 45 voices.
The Edmond Youth
Chorus is one of the many cultural projects sponsored by the Fine Arts
Institute of Edmond. Now in its 24th year, the Institute is a
charitable organization offering educational opportunities for children
and adults in the visual and performing arts.
Annual Tuition: $360. Each member is required to purchase a Edmond Youth Chorus uniform.
For more information, call the Fine Arts Institute at 340-4481.
Thank you.
