Subject Overview:

Glee Singing offers the opportunity for singers and non-singers alike to share the joyous experience of singing as a shared community activity. Beginning each week with a warm up and singing in rounds, Glee will take its repertoire from popular music. An embedded lecture component will introduce concepts and skills such as basic singing anatomy, safe voice usage, song structure and analysis, singing in society, vocal styling and genre, which will then be experienced and explored by the students in practice to underpin their work on repertoire. The semester’s work will conclude with a small public performance of songs covered throughout the semester.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Develop skills in safe vocal usage.
  • Develop practical knowledge of vocal care and hygiene.
  • Develop practical elementary music skills.
  • Develop collaborative learning skills
  • Develop respect for the values and principles of ensemble performance.
