Choir

music · teamwork · singing · performance

Many voices, one sound. A choir blends together the voices of many singers to create rich, layered music that sounds fuller and more powerful than any single voice could make alone.

The conductor leads. A conductor stands in front of the choir and uses hand gestures, arm movements, and facial expressions to guide the singers so they stay together, keep the same tempo, and perform with the right feeling.

Ancient musical tradition. Choirs have been around since medieval times, singing everything from classical church music to pop songs, so there are hundreds of years of music written just for groups of singers to perform.

Different voice types. Choirs often feature different types of voices stacked together, like sopranos (high), altos (medium-high), tenors (medium-low), and basses (low), which blend to create a complete sound.

Found everywhere. You'll find choirs in schools, churches, concert halls, and communities all around the world, with millions of people singing together as a favorite hobby and art form.
