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 230 students, nearly 20% of the student body. Choirs from Mountain View High School have performed across the country and consistently receives superior ratings at both state and national music festivals.

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. Each choir also performs as part of the seasonal Performances at Temple Square in the month of December. 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.
