The Treble Choir is an introductory choir at St. Pius X that gives students a strong foundation for success in a high-school choir setting. We learn repertoire of varying difficulties and learn important musicianship skills such as sight-singing and rhythm. We perform at school Masses, feeder school events, and end-of-semester concerts, and compete in district and regional events. This choir prepares students to enter Sarton Singers (varsity-level choir).
