OUR ENSEMBLES
Golden Valley Vocal Arts consists of four ensembles of varying levels. Look below to read a little more about what each choir is all about.
Mixed Beginning Choir is a choir for all students. No prior singing or music knowledge is required to join this class. This class combines music theory, music history, and music performance all into one. This is the perfect class for beginner singers. All students are required to perform in the Winter and Spring Concerts as part of their final grade. No prior singing or music experience necessary. This choir does not have fees.
MIXED CHOIR
CONCERT CHOIR

Concert Choir is an intermediate, non dancing, choir. They perform at small events for school functions, and choir concerts. Audition is not required, but prior singing experience is necessary. The ability to read music is not required, but recommended for all students. Concert Choir students are required to perform in the Winter, Pop Jazz, and Spring Concerts. They are also encouraged to learn the National Anthem to sing at rallies, football games, and other school events. This choir does not have fees.
SHOW CHOIR
To be a part of our competitive Show Choir you need to audition each semester and pass a singing, dancing, and music theory test. This choir combines singing and dancing at the same time! The first semester focuses on small performances for Golden Valley, which includes the December Winter Concert. The second semester is our competition season, where we travel and compete at various schools throughout Southern California. All students are required to perform in the Winter, Pop Jazz and Spring Concerts as part of their final grade. This choir does have fees, much like a sport, and counts for P.E. credit.
JAZZ CHOIR
Jazz Choir is Vocal Art’s newest ensemble. Just like Show Choir, it is an advanced choir that requires both a singing audition and music theory test. However, it is not a dancing choir. This ensemble is the Vocal Art’s gigging choir that performs at concerts, festivals, and other school and district events that happen throughout the year. Jazz Choir is accompanied by our Grizzly Jazz Band at certain performances and events. All students are required to perform in the Winter, Pop Jazz and Spring Concerts as part of their final grade.
