​

SUBJECTS OFFERED:

Choir singing (small group outside, to move online at the cold weather)

Choristers are trained to perform at a professional level. They achieve excellence in musicianship, develop personal character, and gain leadership skills.
Singers perfect their ability to produce a musical phrase, emphasizing vowel production and blend, learn to control and nuance tone quality, and perfect the ability to control breathing when singing complex repertoire. They develop vocal and musical skills through the rehearsal of many different styles of music: classical, world music, gospel, jazz, and improvisation. 

Singers will have an opportunity to participate in the virtual choir project at the end of the semester.

Music Theory and Classical Music Education

Course designed to help the students study the basic elements of music. Topics include notation, rhythm, scales, key signatures, intervals, chords, beginning level melodic and rhythm dictation, ear-training and sight singing skills. The course will also include classical music appreciation and understanding, and studying composers biographies and the historical contexts in which the music was written.

​

​

Musical theater (a supplemental choir classes project)

We will create a virtual musical performance, where students will try many different hats – from creating visual support and costumes to playing characters and singing musical parts. We will produce a musical play for the end-of-semester virtual concert.

​

​

OUTSIDE IN-PERSON REHEARSALS:

For the small-group in person rehearsals, we have arranged an outdoor space under the tent at the North Suburban YMCA lawn.

​

Address: 

North Suburban YMCA, 2705 Techny Rd, Northbrook, IL 60062

​

Directions:

Campanella banner will be put at the YMCA parking entrance, look for the large white tent on the lawn by the south side of the building.

​

So far we have an agreement to use the space until November (weather permitting, we might stay there longer or shorter). The space is equipped with a sturdy tent, and benches/chairs. The inside YMCA restrooms are accessible to students. Hand sanitizer and disposable masks will be provided. We will be wearing masks and keep a 6’ distance during the outside activities.

To keep our students safe and motivated, his semester Campanella offers four choir program settings for the Concert choir, including a hybrid and an online only options.
