Welcome to Kernodle Middle School Chorus

My name is Mr. Shoaf and I am your Director of Choirs here at Kernodle Middle School. I am very excited about starting this year with you all!

On this page, you will find my general handbook for Chorus at KMS. This handbook outlines Chorus expectations, guidelines, and resources. Please check CANVAS for assignments, lessons, and updates. If you have questions about how to log in to canvas, please email me.

North Carolina State Essential Standards will be used to assess student growth in chorus. The 2014 National Standards for Music Ensemble will also be used in addition to assessing student growth. Throughout this course, students will Create, Perform, Respond, and Connect to music in the chorus setting. Rubrics for student assessment will be included with each assignment on canvas. If you have any questions, please reach out to me via email and give me 24 hours for a response during school hours.
