Introduction
River Tech Children's Choir
Mon 11:15-12:00
River Tech Children's Choir is part of River Tech School of Performing Arts & Technology's Arts Program. You do not need to be a student at River Tech to be in the choir. The choir is open to the community and FREE.
River Tech Children's Choir is a mixed choir (for girls and boys) directed by Dan Hegelund in the style of One Voice Children’s Choir. For ages (able to read) -14. Children must be able to read the lyrics.
What is a rehearsal like?
Emphasis on team building and memorable moments.
We warm up with canons, ostinatos, partner songs, descants, vamps, and countermelodies, with the goal of learning to sing in parts.
The emphasis is on developing vocal and performance skills. Singers will be pushed to their limit, with Dan Hegelund using his experience as an award-winning vocal coach to draw out the best performance in each singer. Yet, always with a smile on his lips.
We will regularly be working on recording albums, music videos, and concerts.
Who should join the choir?
While we do not have auditions, we ask parents to be honest about whether their child can:
(1) read (your child must be able to read choir lyrics)
(2) sing (only enroll children who have a passion for singing)
(3) focus (choir practice lasts 45 minutes)
You are welcome to try once to see if your child likes it. Mondays, 11:15-12:00 pm.
