Harper Chorus

The Harper Chorus is a traditional choral experience using a wide variety of musical styles, from folk and classical to popular music. The students will learn to sing in unison and in parts while learning to work together as an ensemble. There will be opportunities throughout the year for solos and small group experiences. Members will study the fundamentals of singing, learn the language of choral music, and prepare for public performances.

3. Students are expected to sign in when they arrive.

Membership is open to students in grades 3, and 4 at Harper School.  Harper Chorus will be capped at 50 students max.

Fee is $60.00 for each semester.
