B Musicum


Ages 11 - 17 (10.5 with special permission)
B Musicum is a fast-paced a cappella group that brings a new level of excitement to students who have the musical aptitude to hold an independent vocal part, whether developed through instrumental study, singing in A Musicum, other musical training, or a naturally strong ear.
Instrumental opportunities available to students with sufficient proficiency.
This is a warm and welcoming ensemble that takes pride in what they do, with the intrinsic motivation to create something beyond what is usually accomplished for their age group. The atmosphere is playful and enthusiastic.
Because the music can be challenging, entry requires an informal audition. Potential new members are asked to participate in A Musicum at 9:30 on the first day to learn the material with which to demonstrate vocal independence, good intonation, and a clean sound.
One only need a strong ear to sing in this group; it is not necessary to already be able to sight-sing music. Part-emphasized recordings provided to facilitate each student's requisite mastery. Theory is taught using Kodály methods.
