Fiero Choir

For Grades 6-8

Sing, Collaborate, Fortify

Fiero is a choral team where maturing voices in grades 6, 7 and 8 find their strength and their spark! No experience is required, so new and returning singers alike are welcome.

This lively ensemble focuses on consistent mastery of musical concepts, including part independence with two- and three-part choral literature, navigating the changing voice, and solfege and rhythm proficiency. Along the way, singers build lasting connections with one another, grow in independence, and gain an appreciation for the rewards and responsibilities of ensemble membership and section leading. These experiences ready Fiero singers for Vivace, our high school choir.

In addition to two regularly scheduled home concerts each year, Fiero singers take part in musical events in and around Spokane, including performances with other non-profit and community organizations.

What are the benefits of choral rehearsal?

Group choral rehearsals give an opportunity to sing with other children who are singing correctly, which enhances their understanding of true vocal production. The vocal production taught in the SAYC rehearsals is consistent with what is learned in individual lessons, but in a more social environment and in an age appropriate manner.

Why choir instead of private lessons?

In young people, the vocal physiology is not fully developed until students get past puberty. If they are working to try and emulate an adult solo voice (which is how we learn anything that we do aurally – emulate it) chances of damage are high. Even the best of teachers cannot see physical damage that is interior. Also, the literature used for such lessons is usually more advanced in vocabulary and life experience. Another reason why it is hard to start serious study before puberty is that the child’s ability to concentrate solely on the aspect of vocal production for the length of time they need to in practice and study is not yet in place in a child of that age.
