She is honored to have been selected to be the Choral Director at Riverview
High School and is anxious and eager to take the choral department program to
the next level. In the 2006-2007 school year, the Riverview High School
Chaber CHoir under the direction of Mrs. Stewart received Superior ratings at
the State MPA. We hope to maintain this superior level in the music
department.
My goal for the Choral Department is to develop the vocal abilities of each
singer and the fundamental knowlegde of Music Theory and Sight Singing in
order to give them the tools and skills that will enrich their lives as
musicians and vocalists. In additional, it is my goal to unify this Choral
Department with the other performing arts disciplines in our school
community including Band, Orchestra and Drama.
