Children in 3rd-4th grade are eligible to enroll in Jubilate Musica.
Singers build on the techniques learned in Dulcis Musica to further develop pitch matching, healthy vocal tone, and begin to incorporate harmony into their singing. This level begins to emphasis the written score, teaching singers how to read and follow a choral octavo. They sing advanced elementary repertoire and participate in three major concerts per year.
Jubilate conductors are master music educators who teach through a variety of strategies and activities designed to engage the whole child - body, mind, and spirit. Each singer is unique and Chorister conductors support that unique development at every level. No audition or evaluation required to join Jubilate Musica.
