This level extends a further challenging program of music
repertoire, musical concepts and performing experiences. The
expectations and personal responsibility of singers are
increased, training more intense and the rewards are fulfilling.
Singers are exposed to four-and-six-part repertoire in a variety
of languages with more emphasis on a cappella singing. This

a few musically mature 4th graders. This choir is the touring
