About the MVHS Choir Program

Mountain View High School has a rich tradition of excellence in choral music. The school has seen many great directors over its years and boasts a program of over 200 students, nearly 15% of the student body.

MVHS Choirs perform four times each school year in the MVHS Grand Auditorium: a fall concert, Winter Holiday Concert, a Fundraising Pops Concert, and a final Festival showcase. Individual choirs have numerous additional performances ranging from mini-tours to care home visits.

Students in MVHS Choirs receive a balanced music education spanning the breadth of Utah's state standards in choral music education. Students primarily learn the power and beauty of healthy choral singing. In addition, they learn to read and write music notation, develop listening skills, and have opportunities for musical creation through guided improvisation and composition.
