Message from the Director, Mr. Chad Zullinger

The choral ensembles at St. Ignatius College Prep are devoted to the preparation and performance of the finest traditional and contemporary music literature (ranging from Historical Sacred to Contemporary Broadway) for choral ensembles.  The goal of each choir, in rehearsal and performance, is to achieve a high degree of learning and performing excellence.  This can only be achieved through careful preparation and individual commitment and ownership of the goal.  St. Ignatius has enjoyed a rich tradition of musical excellence.  For us to continue to build on this excellence, each student must own the responsibility for the growth and success of the organization and the individual through active participation in musical development.

Singing in choir not only teaches students basic musical skills, concepts and vocal production technique, but also develops professionalism, self-discipline, teamwork, and an appreciation for the Arts.  Music enhances and applies concepts taught in other subject areas including, but not limited to, foreign language, history, math, physiology, poetry and literature.  These core subjects take on a deeper meaning and have more relevance when used in the performance context.
 
I often feel that singing in a choir we can accomplish together what would seem impossible as individuals.  Students learn how to work together to accomplish our goals and discover that their talents are worth sharing, and that there is always more to learn.
 
My sincerest hopes for a wonderful year of Song at St. Ignatius College Prep!
