Other Singing Opportunities

In addition to formal vocal education and the Conservatory's three choirs, there are many opportunities to sing at Wheaton. Students can engage with music in and outside of the Conservatory whether you major in music or another area.

You can explore the Worship Arts through the Worship Arts Certificate or by joing a Chapel Band. Or join a club ensemble like the Gospel Choir or the Thundertone, a sub-group of the Men's Glee Club.
