Sorrentino, Joey - Choir & General Music

My name is Joey Sorrentino, I was born in Las Vegas, NV and moved out to Peoria, AZ when I was 7. I did my first year of college at Northern Arizona State University and finished my degree at Arizona State University. I taught private guitar, bass, mandolin, and ukulele lessons for 3 years before going into education at Paseo Hills. I have been happily married since October of 2023 to Gina (who also teaches here at Paseo), we met in our high school English class when we were 16. Here at Paseo Hills, I teach 5-8 choir and K-4 general music. Go Rattlers!

Class Description: 

Choir is a vocal performance ensemble/class that focuses on healthy singing technique, music reading skills, and performing a variety of musical styles from memory. This is an academic and performance-based class, which means that students do receive a grade for this class that is based on participating in rehearsals and performances. 

Students will:

• Perform music from a variety of genres/styles (classical, folk, pop)
• Perform music using healthy, age appropriate vocal technique with correct singing posture and appropriate stage presence.
• Participate in a variety of on and off campus performances throughout the year.
• Demonstrate individual and group learning techniques.
