Students also have theory classes where they are taught solfege, the art of sight-singing and ear training. The choristers b
ecome proficient soloists as well as learning to sing in two-, three-, and four-part harmony. There is also training in classical music literature, singing in foreign languages, musical theater, stage presence and show choir dance movements. Through such extensive instruction, they receive a full, professional choral music education including concerts and tours. The Teen Chorale
