Academy Singers
Now on Stage!
The Academy Singers performance group is Brentwood Academy’s premiere mixed vocal ensemble. This auditioned group features 12 -16 of the most talented students, who perform for various school, church, and community events throughout the year. As Academy Singers, students expand their knowledge of music theory, sight-reading, ear training, and the many facets of the use of the vocal instrument including proper tone, breath control, posture, blending, and diction.
The primary focus of the course is on advanced a cappella music usually consisting of eight or more parts. The production of an annual CD, which features a variety of popular styles of music, provides numerous opportunities for soloists.
Auditions are held in the spring prior to the beginning of the school year.
