Young Musicians & Artists (YMA) Summer Choir

YMA Choir students learn a range of vocal genres in a fun, lively atmosphere that blends concert choir and voice class. You’ll develop the fundamentals of healthy, robust, authentic singing in a safe and nurturing group setting where you’ll receive individualized attention. The Choir faculty will introduce you to a sampling of some of the best choral literature—everything from classical and folk music to jazz standards and the songs of today. They’ll help you boost your vocal production while elevating your appreciation of musical culture and tradition. You’ll work on developing your own vocal technique, improve your musicianship, and learn more about harmony and rhythmic awareness as you build ensemble skills. Rehearsals include vocal warmups, rhythmic exercises, sight-reading, and movement, and will address breathing techniques and diction as you learn pieces in various languages.
