LEVEL 1 CHOIR - Wednesday 6:45-8:15pm (For complete beginners)
This welcoming group is perfect for those with little to no experience who are excited to learn about choral singing and develop essential musicianship skills such as pitch matching, tuning, harmonizing, rhythm performance, and music reading. The first 45 minutes will focus on basic musicianship training, followed by 45 mins of song learning. While there are no performances at this level, it's an excellent opportunity for those seeking a low-commitment environment to explore and grow in choral music.
LEVEL 2 CHOIR - Wednesday 6:45-8:15pm (Open to any one)
This foundational group is ideal for singers with 1-2 years of singing experience who are eager to build their confidence and skills in a choral setting. You’ll have the chance to enhance your singing techniques while learning to hold your part. This level includes everything from level 1, plus a light performance load and the opportunity to perform in small concerts. You'll practice matching pitch and rhythms, gaining comfort and independence needed to perform your parts more effectively.
LEVEL 3 CHOIR - Thursday 6:45-9pm (by audition only)
This intermediate level is perfect for singers with 2-5 years of choral experience who can learn music independently and confidently hold their part in a group. You'll thrive in a moderately challenging environment designed to enhance your choral skills. You’ll refine your rhythmic accuracy and develop stronger techniques for sustains and cut-offs. While your tone is consistent, this is an opportunity to explore dynamic expression and vibrato more deeply. You’ll also focus on mastering articulation, including accents and staccatos, to achieve a fuller and expressive performance. An audition will be required to determine your ability to sing melody, harmony, and rhythms accurately, ensuring you’re well-prepared for ensemble work at this level. As part of the VPOPS performance groups, you’ll be eligible to perform at all VPOPS organized concerts with select repertoire.
LEVEL 4 CHOIR - Thursday 6:45-9:30pm (by invite only)
Level 4: This advanced level is reserved for highly experienced and committed choral singers who are ready to take on a challenging environment. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to refine your skills in choral singing while building your confidence. Singers in this group will focus on perfecting rhythmic accuracy, sustains and cut-offs. While your tone is strong and consistent, this is a chance to explore greater musical expression in a small group. You'll work on mastering articulation, vowel resonance, and complex harmony and rhythm skills. Please note that this level requires an audition to ensure you’re prepared for the demands of the group. As the top tier of the VPOPS performance groups, you’ll be eligible to perform all of the repertoire at each concert. This level requires independence in learning your parts and strong sensitivity in complex musical techniques. Join us to elevate your choral journey and embrace the joy of making music together!
"A brilliant place to make beautiful music and everlasting friendships! The Vancouver Pops will encourage you to practice your art and become a much more confident performer, whether you sing or play an instrument. I would highly recommend people of all experience levels to join!"
