Choral Music
Overview
Taft vocalists sing in celebration and exultation. They may engage in the artistic life of the school through formal choral music classes, our showcase choir, student-led performance groups, and private vocal lessons. Musicians have written and recorded original compositions, including full albums in wide release, in our digital recording studio. They travel the world, performing at prestigious concert venues and with renowned musicians, and fill the halls of Mr. Taft’s school with joyful sound.
Beginning vocalists may join our chorus, where they will learn singing techniques, simple sight-reading, ear training, and the joy of singing and performing with a group. More advanced vocalists may audition for one of our a cappella groups, or for our showcase choir, Collegium Musicum. They may also apply to pursue an independent course of study in choral music.
