Concert choir is open to all students; however, it is expected that those who register for this course will be able to learn the choral part to which they are assigned and to sing it correctly when singing with the whole choir. At the start of the student’s first enrollment in this course, he/she must sing alone during an interview with the conductor. The goals of the interview are: 1. to start becoming acquainted; 2. to allow the conductor to hear the student’s voice; 3. to allow the student and conductor to agree on the voice part to which the student will be assigned. The choir sings a wide variety of choral literature, chosen to expand the student’s choral music background. Performances serve as the midterm and final exams. Registration in Concert Choir may be repeated indefinitely, but only the most recent 12 credits apply toward a DMACC degree.
