LVHS Choir  Students &Parents

Hello from the Choir Office!  The following information is provided to help in assisting students and parents with the enrolled virtual Choir class:


  • The Home Page offers detailed information - please read through this helpful information
  • The google meet links are on the Home Page in Canvas
  • Students and Parents are encouraged to sign up for office hours (private lessons, quick conversations, grade update, etc.)
  • Students must login to Canvas through Clever (see Home page for Canvas/Clever Info. link)
  • All assignments are listed in Canvas. 
  • Grades are posted in Canvas and will transfer to Infinite Campus (usually overnight - but not always).
  • Google Classroom is also being utilized to host at home practice tracks and synchronous learning rehearsal information (i.e. choral music, recorded parts, examples of the pieces, etc.).
  • The choir fee of $10.00 will be applied to the LVHS Choir Department - Virtual Performance Project Software and Production.  The Choir course and uniform rental fee is normally $80.00, but due to Covid 19, we are reducing the cost by $70.00. 
  • Students and parents may pay online at: lvwildcats.com
  • Please do not create a new account - students should follow the login instructions on the home page.
  • Go to Online Store (top right) - Then Performing Arts (left)
  • Look for Choir Software - No Photo Available and the cost of $10.00
  • This $10.00 fee is currently due
  • Our Handbook Contracts - pages 22-24 were due September 23, 2020.  Please ask your student about these forms, as they require parent signatures.  
  • The new CCSD Virtual Performance Contract will be mailed out to your student if they are taking part in the virtual project.  Email is also available.  Students without the submitted contracts will not be allowed to participate in the Virtual project and will not receive the Summative grade for Semester 2.
  • The video submission for the virtual project is a Semester 2 Summative grade. During online synchronous rehearsals, non-auditioned choir students are not required to sing in front of their peers. Audition only choirs are expected to sing when called upon.
  • Technology is a critical part of vocal recordings and video submissions.  Please let your student know that they may communicate any issues with Mrs. Tyler or Mrs. Daniel.
  • Email:  [email protected]
  • VETERANS:  Choir Uniform Drop Off Day was Oct. 26, 2020.  If you were not able to drop of your tuxedo or concert gown, please communicate with Ms. Daniel asap.
  • Email:  [email protected]
  • The Choir program is focused around this Motivational Framework:
    • Inclusion
    • Attitude
    • Meaning
    • Competence

It is my hope that every student will feel involved and will try to experience new things musically.  Our attitudes make the difference and even on days when I feel beyond exhausted, I know that your student will give me more meaning to this distance learning experience.  In order for our students to grow, we must have a way to hear or see the work - or work in progress.  :)  Audio and Video submissions will be required.  Please assist your child by asking him/her questions.  Our goal is to improve through practice, but that rehearsal time at home, is the main 'homework' for a performance based class.  Even if they spend 20 minutes per day on the songs assigned, they will progress in their singing.  


Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached via email at:  [email protected]


All my best,


Mrs. Tyler :)
