Grades 3-5
Chorus at Abess Park
Led by Milton Threadcraft
In-Person
Students must be enrolled at Abess Park Elementary School to register for this course. Young singers will embark on an exciting musical journey in this chorus class! They’ll discover how to use their very own built-in instrument – their voice. In addition to improving vocal production and technique, students will build sight-singing and performance skills. Musical adventures await where every voice can shine!
In-person courses will follow the DCPS schedule for holidays and school closures.
