Music
Musicians and singers have many opportunities to develop their skills and perform while at the Academy. Vocalists can join the Academy’s Chorus and instrumentalists can participate in the Chamber Ensemble.
Academy students are also invited to take vocal or music lessons at the University’s College of Fine Arts as well as audition for one of the University’s music groups — All-Campus Orchestra, Marching Band, Pep Band, Winter Percussion, Winter Guard, Concert Band, Big Band, Jazz Workshop, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Chapel Choir, and Symphonic Chorus.
Additionally, students can enjoy the use of practice rooms and concert halls at the Boston University College of Fine Arts.
Chorus
In this course, students will prepare for both the winter and spring performances. Students need not have experience with singing as the class will review techniques for all voice ranges.Although the ability to read music is helpful, it will not be required as part of the class will explore music theory and sight-singing.
Chamber Ensemble
In this course, students will prepare for both the winter and spring performances. Students should already have proficiency with an instrument. The pieces selected will depend upon the instruments played by the students enrolled. A portion of the class will focus on analysis and music theory.
