任务
的 Curley Choral Program’s purpose is threefold:
- To provide students training in the ancient art of choral singing;
- To develop musicianship 和 provide musical experiences through participation in a performing organization;
- To serve the Curley community by sharing the gift of choral music in concert performances 和 in conjunction with other school functions.
Our program is geared to train students with no prior singing experience. 事实上, only rarely does the Curley Choir encounter new members who have enjoyed any prior appreciable choral experiences. New members, therefore, should not be dissuaded by a lack of singing experience. 正规的玩彩平台会训练你!!!
