    What is the history of caroling? Why do we go caroling in Hingham? Do school choruses go caroling anymore? Why or why not?

  • Fundraising


    Our chorus needs money above and beyond what is provided by the district administration's budget. Individual students need money for their trip accounts but what else do we need? What are some good ideas for fundraisers to help us reach these goals?

  • Room 197


    How can we best use the space in our chorus room? How can its visual appearance be enhanced to make it feel more like home? Should we keep the lights off during rehearsals?

  • Careers in Music


    Other than teaching music and being a big star, how can you make music a viable career choice? What is Music Therapy? Musicology? Ethnomusicology? And if you do want to teach or perform, what do you need to do to get ready?

  • Chamber Ensembles


    How is singing in a group of less than 20 members different from singing in a large chorus? Why is it important to learn to sing one-per-part? Who directs in a group of four singers? Can only really good singers perform in a chamber ensemble?

  • Evolution of Music


    "Evolution" is a controversial term to use to describe the way music has changed over the years because it implies that music is better now than it was. But how did we get from Bach to the Beatles? And what were the significant catalysts that prompted changes in musical style? Offer your opinions, or get into some research!

    How does knowing a key signature help a singer sight-read? Why is it important for singers to be able to read chorus parts other than their own? How do you write down a tune you just heard?

    Comment on the quality of singing of contestants, but refrain from discussing 'other qualities.' You can also use this forum to discuss other reality singing contests, but keep your comments musical and 'professional.'

  • Vocal Technique


    How do you know you're breathing correctly for singing? How you do sing with energy but stay relaxed? How does posture affect intonation? How do the tongue, jaw, and lips affect the color of vowels?

  • Memento Mori (Major Works)


    How can a keener sense of one's mortality provide a more passionate embrace of life? Death is a reality that will come to us all. Have we as a society made it into a taboo subject? How do the poems and music that we're doing enhance this expression of these complex ideas?
