Cordova High School Choirs

Vocal Music I-IV is open to students of any grade or experience level. The class focuses on basic music theory and vocal technique. This choir studies and performs a variety of classical choral literature from various time periods, and may be required to sing on no more than one concert per semester. Although an audition is not required to be in this course, the director reserves the right to listen to students sing individually in this class and offer promotion (into a more advanced choir) to experienced singers or those showing a high potential for fast improvement. If you are a student at Cordova High School and are interested in joining this class, simply sign up for it when you receive your registration card during the Spring semester, or discuss it with the Choir Director, Ms. Johnson, in Room F163, or you can send a message via the Guestbook page.
