Choir

Choir is open to all students. Students will develop skills in sight singing, musicianship and choral training. Sacred music is the main focus of musical selections, but some secular and holiday-season selections are also performed.

Hand Bells

Hand Bell Choir is a group of 10 to 13 ringers who perform on a four-octave set of hand bells. Students are strongly encouraged to have music reading skills as well as a strong sense of rhythm and good hand coordination. This group tours during the school year. Students are expected to make a full-year commitment.

Dynamics

Dynamics is Mount Ellis’ touring choral group. Members are selected by audition and a high level of musicianship is expected. The group travels throughout Montana and attends a choir clinic every other year. Students are expected to make a full-year commitment.

Strings

The String Orchestra includes students from both Mount Ellis Academy and Mount Ellis Elementary. Anyone who plays violin, viola, cello, or bass is encouraged to come out for the group.
