Be PREPARED for class Course Description: This course is an experimental combination between the choir and drama courses that have been offered in years past, where you will study aspects of music and theatre that were normally taught in each class respectively and have them be combined. As such, the course will explore both areas equally and will be graded as well. In this course, you will learn how to sing in a choir setting by performing some classical and popular arrangements. In addition, you will learn music theory and develop your inner ear skills that behooves of each musician to possess to further his/her music progression. Considering the theatre aspects, we will read two plays (drama & comedy), develop our improvisation skills, scene studies, etc. These areas of study will help further your progression in the acting world too.
