MSC Singers

This fall, the MSC Singers will take a departure from folksong arrangements and study four choral art-songs that reflect the many romantic moods of winter. We will sing about the romance of crunching snow, winter winds, and starry nights. Our class will also have fun practicing ear training exercises and vocal exercises designed to improve the accuracy and flexibility in the senior voice. Prerequisite: If you have an ear for harmony, a memory for melody, and past choral singing experience, we encourage you to join this class.

Reading music is an asset but not a requirement. Participants are also asked to commit to sing in an “Open House Social” on Dec 16.

Sheet music and folders will be provided.
