Welcome to the Home Practice page! We will be updating uppercanadachorus.com/homepractice on a weekly basis.  All of our Rehearsal Guides/Listening Guides can be found at uppercanadachorus.com/rehearsalguides.

If you are ever unable to make a rehearsal, we ask that you fill out the absentee form at uppercanadachorus.com/rehearsalguides as well as make up your rehearsal at another campus that week.  A full schedule can be found at uppercanadachorus.com/calendar.

Solfege is a music education method used to teach pitch and sight singing. Syllables are assigned to the notes of the scale and enable the musician to mentally hear the pitches of a piece of music, which he or she is seeing for the first time, and then sing them aloud. The hand signs are designed specifically to help us understand the movement of pitch through a scale.
