The Vocal Music Department at Dexter Community Schools helps students become responsible musicians and informed music listeners. Students will engage with music by singing, listening, moving, evaluating, and studying various genres. We focus on building positive attitudes that encourage growth and enjoyment of music throughout life. Musical experiences will help students develop self-esteem, discover musical interests, and gain leadership skills.

 

Each grade level includes daily practice in basic sight-reading and music theory to help students learn to read music. Students will achieve successful performances by concentrating on intonation, rhythm, diction, balance, dynamics, and phrasing. This will lead to accurate and expressive performances.
