ABOUT

Oshkosh North High School Choral Program Objectives:

  • To assist all members in becoming responsible musicians and intelligent consumers of music. Students will: experience music through singing, playing, listening, movement, and evaluating. Students will also study general musicianship of the works – the composers, history, theory, and motivation behind the music.
  • To have students learn to read music through basic sight-singing and theory drills performed regularly in rehearsals. Students may be assessed on their sight-singing.
  • To help students individually improve as a choral and/or solo performer by participating in lessons each semester. Students are required to attend a minimum of two lessons per semester.
  • To have students perform choral music as accurately and as expressively as possible. This is achieved through diligent individual practice and attentive rehearsals. All members must strive to achieve music elements such as correct intonation, rhythm, diction, balance, dynamics, and phrasing. Concert evaluations will assess each of these aspects.
  • To understand the vocal mechanism as it engages in singing. This includes knowledge of:
          -the respiratory functions (proper breathing and posture)
          -the vocal folds
          -the resonators (pharynx, mouth, and nasal cavity) 
          -the articulators (lips, teeth, tongue, palate, and lower jaw) 
  • To support each other in the choral department at concerts, performances, festivals as well as in the greater school community.
