Prep Choir
(Approx. Grades 2-3)
Active participation based on the theory of "rote before note - sound before sight" is encouraged. The goal is to develop music thinking skills as well as improvement in the level of musicianship through creativity, improvisation and musical discipline. Girls will learn a variety of songs from different styles, including both unison and part singing. Directed by Jerri Foster.
Mid Choir
(Approx. Grades 4-6)
Girls will develop a diverse repertoire that includes contemporary, classical, gospel, folk, patriotic, seasonal, foreign and songs native to New Mexico. AGC is the only choir in the state that routinely performs the state song, "O Fair New Mexico." Girls will learn the discipline of blending voices and singing parts using printed music and the ear. Directed by Angie Cantrell.
