Ear & Interval Training - Kim Newcomb, Capital City Chorus
This class focuses on Aural Skills and Pitch Development. It serves as an introduction to tools that can be practically applied to your daily music making. We will explore exercises that develop the ear, strengthen interval recognition, sight reading, and aural memory.

Chorus Unity in Times of Zoom - Vicki Petzko, Scenic City Chorus
As we begin to transition from the past 2 years, chorus unity needs to be maintained and fortified in order to emerge stronger and even better than before. Each chorus needs to rebuild as a team; communication, decision making, real-time activities, zoom rehearsals, goal setting and leadership all need to be enhanced. This discussion will allow you to share what you have done and learn from each other.
