High School

Emphasis is placed on more complex and challenging music, in addition to more demanding expectations for the refinement of sight-singing skills. Comprehension and vocalizing of musical phrasing is more complex at this level. Vocal technique is expected to become more consistent, and greater agility and practice are necessary to hear and learn music in more foreign languages. There are high expectations for the development of chorister independence in work ethic and also in rehearsal techniques.

The Concert Chorus is the most select group, regularly performing at civic events and San Francisco Opera productions, as well as producing CDs. The Chorus recently performed at the Swearing In Ceremony of the Inauguration of Barack Obama, 44th President of the United Stats of America, at the United States Capitol, Washington, DC.

We offer group piano classes for different age groups: ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and 13-16 year olds. Maximum of 6 students in a class. In this class our students learn the art of piano playing in a fun, and easy environment, more relaxed than in individual lessons. Young kids develop their musical abilities - rhythm, ear training, musical memory, musical literacy, elementary theory, etc. Some children will go on to individual lessons after attending this class for a few months, others just love to learn piano in this setting.

Ensemble offers a chorus for interested high school age girls to pursue their love of singing as they take on more academic and community responsibilities and challenges. In addition to performing very challenging music of all genres, the Ensemble singers serve as cultural ambassadors for our community.
