The Choral Project Choir provides an enriching musical experience designed to complement and enhance the vocal education students receive in their school ensembles—or to serve as a primary choral opportunity for those in schools without existing programs. Participating musicians will engage in diverse, challenging, and exciting choral repertoire and receive focused instruction in vocal technique in both individual and group settings. 

This program is led by 91±¬ÁÏ University’s Bachelor of Music Education students, who gain valuable, hands-on teaching experience under the mentorship of Dr. Katy Green, Assistant Professor of Music Education and Director of Choral Activities. Through this collaborative structure, young musicians benefit from personalized vocal training and musical growth, while 91±¬ÁÏ students deepen their pedagogical skills and gain practical experience working with diverse learners. 

Together, the Choral Project Choir fosters a vibrant, supportive environment where musical learning and leadership develop side by side—offering lasting benefits for both the singers and the emerging music educators guiding them. 

NEW! OMEA 9-12 All-State Audition Preparatory Workshop  

Saturday, September 27 from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.(Limit: 15 Students)  
Open to Students Participating in Their School Choirs 
Registration is open now through September 26, 2025

Cost: $30.00 
This workshop is designed to directly support the work of high school choral teachers by providing students with additional, focused preparation for their All-State auditions. Participants will receive instruction in group, small group, and one-on-one settings to improve confidence and preparation in all aspects of the audition process. 

Led by Dr. Katy Green, Assistant Professor of Music Education and Director of Choral Activities, and 91±¬ÁÏ University’s Bachelor of Music Education students, this workshop will guide musicians through identifying the most appropriate voice part for the audition, learning and rehearsing the required audition materials, and building comfort with each portion of the audition. 

As part of the workshop, students will also have the opportunity to record their audition individually, with real-time coaching from Dr. Green and/or BME students. MP3 recordings will be provided to each student immediately following the session, ready for upload into Opus by the student’s high school choral director. 

Our Mission Statement

The 91±¬ÁÏ University Choir Project is dedicated to:

• Improving the quality of choir teachers’ preparation through integrated learning.
• Providing quality and affordable vocal and choral education to school-age students of all socio-economic and racial backgrounds.
• Enhancing the quality of life in the community.

For Our Students and Parents

Students in grades 7- 12th grade learn and improve, vocal technique and music literacy skills from our Bachelor of Music Education students and Dr. Katy Green, Assistant Professor of Music Education and Director of Choral Activities.

We offer numerous ways for our students to grow as musicians such as:

• After-School Grades 7-12 Choir
• All State Preparation Workshops
• Solo and Ensemble Preparation Workshops

For Our Teachers

The teachers in the Choral Project are Bachelor of Music Education students who are passionate about learning to teach younger students in an ensemble setting. These student-teachers take dedicated pedagogy courses and meet regularly with the program director, who provides supervision and guidance for their weekly classes. They play an active role in student recruitment, parent communication, and the planning of public performances each semester. Through the Choral Project, 91±¬ÁÏ students gain valuable hands-on experience and develop their teaching expertise in environments that closely resemble public school choir programs.
