Philosophy

The Houston High School Choirs provides high-quality training for aspiring young vocalists. Through the four Honor courses offered, each choir graduate should attain skill sets and character qualities in order to prepare for college, for a possible career as a professional musician, or at the very least, to be a life-long independent musician.

The philosophy of the choir program is founded on the principles of self-motivation, artistic excellence, professionalism, collaboration, and a strong work ethic. Because each choir is an Honors course, each student is expected to be committed and invested in their journey to become a young independent musician.

Students must understand that mastery of any craft takes daily work, effort, and practice. Talent is simply not enough. The foundational and advanced courses provided are designed to meet each student at their ability level and provide opportunities for them to work on specific skills.
