Dear
Chorus Students and Parents,
Welcome
to the Gregory Middle School Choral Department!
The chorus offerings here are a significant part of our school
curriculum and will enhance your middle school experience greatly. The chorus program is designed to help each
singer improve their own vocal skills, expand their musical understanding, and
increase their personal growth through working together daily and in
performances.
It
is the goal for each chorus student to:
1. Discover, appreciate and value his/her own
talents, the talents of
others and the beauty of all types of
music.
2. Improve skills in using his/her vocal
instrument, learning music
theory and reading skills, and general
musical knowledge.
3. Gain a desire to continually improve upon
past performances.
4. Experience self-fulfillment after having
communicated to others
through music.
5. Experience music in a way that will bring
lasting enjoyment and as
an activity that can be continued long
after leaving GMS.
In
addition to all of these goals, we also love to have fun together in
chorus! Of course, it is expected that
every student give his or her best effort and cooperation. With all of us working together, it will be
an exciting, inspiring, and rewarding year!
I look forward to meeting and working with each one of you this
year. I can be reached at dave_pfenninger@ipsd.org or 428-6300 x8784 if you have any questions at any
time.
Sincerely,
Dave Pfenninger
Choral Director
