Status Our high school teachers regularly review course offerings to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable. Based on our strong commitment to engage all learners, the following new course is being proposed in Visual and Performing Arts: Developing Tenor/Bass Choir.

This course is designed for beginning choral students, who specifically sing in the tenor/bass range, to learn to increase their vocal skills and explore music through choral repertoire and performance. This course is intended to serve as a Level 1 and Level 2 (of 3) within a choral program for tenor/bass singers. Students will expand their musicianship by creating, performing, and responding to music in a variety of contexts. They will receive instruction in music reading, music theory, and vocal development and technique catered to their needs as tenor/bass singers.
Fiscal Impact Instructional materials will be purchased from the District-established Instructional Materials budget.
