Course Selection: Chorus Options

Abby Singley • Feb 5, 2010

While you contemplate which classes to take next year and how to earn credits required for graduation, The Pitch Online is ready to help you in the process. We’re sitting down with teachers to find out the pros and cons of all the elective courses you may want to add to your schedule for next year.

 

Music teacher Isabel Hernandez-Cata discusses the many chorus classes offered at WJ. Although most students, particuarly freshmen, start in Chorus 1 as it doesn’t require an audition, the music department offers four different choir classes – Chorus 1, Pop Fly, Advanced Choir and Madrigals. All of these courses are a fine arts credit, and students can also obtain an honors credit from Advanced Choir or Madrigals.
