Chorus
For Fourth & Fifth Grades
The Sligo Creek Elementary Chorus is comprised of two hundred Fourth and Fifth Grade Students. Each Grade level of Chorus rehearses for fifty minutes a week, in the Sligo Creek Elementary Gymnasium. In chorus, we learn how to sight-read melodies and rhythms. We study the elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, tone color, texture, music history, style, dynamics and form. We also study choral literature in various combinations of harmony, different styles and languages.
