  • Caroling


    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?

    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?

  • 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 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?
