Patterson Chorus 2026-2027
Dear Patterson 4th-5th Grade Parents,

I am excited to invite your children to sing in the Patterson Chorus! My passion is teaching music to all children, and in the chorus atmosphere your child will experience engaging rehearsals that will give them the fundamentals of vocal technique and ensemble singing. The District 204 4th-12th grade chorus program is one that, as a professional music educator, I highly value for its consistency in and commitment to excellence.

Chorus is open to all students in fourth and fifth grade. We are hoping for an excellent turnout this year!! Chorus is the perfect option for any student considering a performance ensemble in middle or high school (band, orchestra, or chorus). Essential skills such as music literacy, ear training, ensemble balance, expression, diction, communication, and creative problem solving are primary focuses. These skills will well prepare your children for future performance experiences.

We will rehearse in the Gym every MONDAY from 8:00-8:50 AM. Our first rehearsal is on MONDAY September 14.  Drop-off is at the Front Car Drop-Off and then enter Door 2. Door 2 opens at 7:55, and closes at 8:05. Please do NOT drop off your child prior to this time as there will not be supervision. If your student arrives at 8:05 AM or later and Door #2 is closed, students should come to the front main doors to be buzzed in by office staff. Students are encouraged to carpool to rehearsals.
