Student Resources

The Chantilly Choral Student is a busy and active participant in the performing arts. It is our hope that we may provide or direct students to services that may assist them in their pursuit of these skills and study areas.

Students may request assistance as needed from their teacher/director, and schedule opportunities for academic/performance help during the planned remediation period at Chantilly High School.

In addition, there are numerous resources that may benefit students as they study the fine and performing arts. We will strive to provide direct information and internet links to many music education websites via our website at www.chantillychoral.org. General department information can be found on our website and in this handbook as well.

The school Blackboard system may also be a resource for students throughout the school year.

On page 25, we have included a short list of local private voice instructors, music stores, and dance studios. This list is by no means all inclusive, nor do we recommend or promote one particular private business over another. Many students may already study with someone not on this list. Local families are a great resource to obtain references for other studios, stores, and instructors. These particular references are also listed with school proximity in mind.

We happily receive recommendations and additions to this list and will strive to keep it updated in our classroom and on our website. We simply provide this list as a starting place for your convenience.

There are obviously numerous music resources for stereo type equipment personal recordings like Tower Records and Best Buy in our local community. Online music resources are also abundant. Some resources for print music may be found at www.jwpepper.com or locally at Foxes Music at 416 South Washington Street, Falls Church, VA 22046.

Our local colleges, such as George Mason University, George Washington University, Catholic University, and Northern Virginia Community College, are great resources (just to name a few). Some of our local recording studios also provide educational services.

Finally, our community is abundant with concert and live performance venues such as local community theatre, religious organizations, dinner theatres, and International Embassies, not to mention prestigious professional stages like Wolf Trap, The National Theatre, and The Kennedy Center.
