The choral program focuses on healthy vocal technique, especially as boys’ voices change. Each singer practices appropriate exercises and choral literature to develop strong, sustainable singing skills. Classes include active rehearsals with regular music reading and sight-singing practice, fostering musical independence.

In grade five, Chorus is part of the weekly curriculum. Boys learn healthy voice use and explore repertoire from various styles, languages, and cultures. They perform in the holiday concert and a joint spring band-choral concert. By grade six, Chorus becomes an elective, further developing students’ musical understanding through rounds, partner songs, and two-part harmony. Boys also learn more about vocal production to navigate their changing voices. In grades seven and eight, Chorus members gain greater musicianship, recognizing rhythmic and melodic phrases and applying advanced singing techniques to sustain sound through longer phrases.

“Boys of Brunswick” is an extracurricular choral group open to all Middle Schoolers, offering a mixed-age rehearsal and the opportunity to perform more advanced literature.
