Chorale is a select chorus made up of 42 7th & 8th graders. Auditions are held at the beginning of the year that require students to sing a scale, sight-read, and perform melodic recall alone. We meet once every six days during the school day, and on Wednesdays after school. Chorale sings challenging, repertoire from different time periods, styles and cultures that are both accompanied and a cappella. In chorale, singers continue to learn about proper breathing and posture, ear- training, sight-singing, note reading, phrasing, diction and how to blend voices with others. Since chorale is a smaller "select" ensemble, students develop into more independent musicians. We sing mostly 3 and 4 part pieces with girls singing soprano and alto, and boys singing tenor and bass. Occasionally, we sing in more parts. Our piano accompanist is Mrs. Susan Theodos. We occasionally have students accompany for chorale as well. Chorale not only performs at RMS, we also perform out in the community throughout the school year. This year extra events include singing The National Anthem at a Sound Tigers hockey game and participating in the Great East Festival at Six Flags New England.
