Conservatorium Choir 2 is a large choir open to all voice types, focusing on Western choral repertoire, both sacred and secular, from the seventeenth century to the present day.
The subject encourages inexperienced and experienced singers to improve their singing skills, including learning to pronounce texts in different languages. Students develop their vocal technique and an understanding of choral traditions through the experience of singing representative compositions.
Online students will receive choral coaching and will record and submit individual videos throughout the semester. On-campus students will attend rehearsals working towards a public performance in the final week of semester. All students will study the same repertoire.
Note: Choir 2 is taught in Dual Delivery mode, with online students taking the Tuesday lecture (synchronous attendance only) and On-Campus students taking the Thursday lecture.
