Course Description
(from Program of Studies 2004 - 2005)

The Hazen Chorus is open to all students who like or would like to sing. The course is designed for students who wish to extend their knowledge of music through performance of vocal music. Music selections will include a variety of styles stressing regular choral repertoire including classical, spirituals, sacred, madrigals, and pop music. There will also be opportunities for students to do solo and small group work.
