◆Music Music at SIS is an important and valued part of the curriculum. Participation in the program is encouraged, as students benefit from the opportunity of playing or singing regularly in the various music performance courses which are offered. We believe that the program at SIS is comprehensive and offers a wide variety of choices for students. Instrumental Music: 器楽 Instrumental Music is

Chorus
(中等部コーラス)
seeks to provide any interested middle school student—regardless
of previous musical experience—an opportunity to learn the
fundamentals of singing in a group. It strives to cultivate a
singer’s artistic abilities and literate musicianship through a
wide range of choral literature in
unison, two and three voice
parts from different periods of music history and cultures.
Students will perform this music with appropriate technique and
performance style. They should then be able to participate in
concerts with more stage presence and confidence. They can
expect to do at least three performances a year. Students take
this as a year long course during Fall, Spring and Winter Terms.
