CHOIR

SWISD provides students with a foundation of music whereby the students can perform musically and artistically in groups and individually; can make an aesthetic and knowledgeable judgement of music; to develop music literacy skills in music reading, critical listening, and theory; and to demonstrate that music is an integral part of life as evidenced through history, society, culture, and tradition.

The goal of the choral music programs in SWISD are to enable students to become confident and proficient in singing while giving them valuable experience learning to sing well with others. This entails sight reading, ear training and performing for a variety of occasions. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in UIL Solo and Ensemble contest, the TMEA All-State process as well as represent their schools at UIL Choral Contest. Choral music enhances many of the critical skills necessary to helping young people mature as learners since it entails math (intervals and counting), science (the physics of sound), foreign languages, reading, eye hand coordination, and teamwork.
