Music & Vocal
Choir
Ensemble vocal training focusing on harmony, part singing, musicality and stage performance
The class runs two hours: vocal technique, breath and resonance training, multi-part harmony, and pitch and rhythm work, built around a repertoire of Chinese and English pieces chosen for children's voices.
The course also trains aesthetic sense, rhythm and physical coordination, and builds the group into an ensemble that creates and performs together — holding one line while three others sound around it.
The Mirror choir is the school's official performing group. Members represent Mirror at cultural exchange events and large public performances, and record on the studio's original music videos, each one a record of the choir's own progress.
