Students in red dresses, singing on choral risers.

Allegretto

The Allegretto curriculum strengthens the basics of choral singing. Singers learn basic rhythmic and melodic reading skills, healthy vocal production and breathing skills, and how to sing as a choir in unison and two parts. Allegretto performs on both the fall and spring Girl Choir concerts in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel, plus one community performance.

Auditions for Allegretto are held in April for the following academic year. Please fill out our interest form to receive audition information next spring.

Allegretto 2018-19 Calendar

Announcements

  • Personal Practice
    • Assigned Jan 21: practice the pronunciation for De Colores (page 5-6) along with this recording

 

  • Suggested Reading Lists
    • To help girls better understand and connect with our concert theme of "We Raise Our Voices," we have posted two suggested reading lists on our Spring Semester Resources page: a list from the Academy of Malala-related books and a list from the Appleton Public Library of books including broader themes such as speaking out, defying expectations, and powerful women.
    • These reading lists are purely optional and meant to supplement the girls' learning.
