Choirs

THE CHORAL GROUPS

The Treble Chorus of New England works to maintain a balance between the development of the child as a musician and performer. By teaching the discipline of regular practice, formal chorus performances, international and national tours and involvement in the community this balanced development is pursued. Our goal is to foster a lifelong love for choral singing both as a participant and an appreciative audience member.
The following groups enable children to move on to new knowledge and challenges as they gain mastery of musical skills.

The Treble Chorus of New England Training Choir
Conducted by Valerie J. Becker, Accompanied by Yerim Kang

The Training Choir is for the younger, less experienced singer (most singers are ages 7 – 10). The choristers begin to learn proper vocal techniques including breath control, tone production, diction, and posture. They also develop an understanding of the stage, fundamental music skills and concepts, languages, and build a solid foundation of music literacy. The Training Choir rehearses weekly for one hour.

The Treble Chorus of New England Concert Choir
Conducted by Valerie J. Becker, Accompanied by Yerim Kang

The Concert Choir is the larger, intermediate ensemble (most singers are ages 10 – 14). The choristers continue to advance their work in vocal techniques, musical skills, and languages. They build focus and musical responsibility and are encouraged to work independently when learning more advanced repertoire. The choristers perform a wide variety of music in many languages. The Concert Choir rehearses weekly for one hour and a half.

The Treble Chorus of New England Schola
Conducted by Heather Chu, Accompanied by Daniel Padgett

Schola is the choir for the more advanced singer (most singers are ages 13 – 18). The choristers develop advanced musical skills, languages, study a more challenging repertoire and perform a wide variety of music. They demonstrate a willingness and desire to achieve a high level of responsibility, commitment and leadership. Schola rehearses once a week for two hours.

The Treble Chorus of New England Gig Choir
Conducted by Valerie J. Becker

The Gig Choir consists of selected members from both Concert Choir and Schola. They perform for hire for weddings, parties, and benefits and community events.
