Love in Any Language
Selections from the stage, screen, and other contemporary music
Ascent Vocals offers a contemporary vocal ensemble for high school students that rehearses in Longmont. They hold rheir own performances, as well as perform at area festivals and collaborate with other local arts organizations. 

The goal is to have fun, sound great, and build a community with other singers around the area! We create an inclusive and encouraging environment, in which ALL students feel valued and safe. We build a culture of positivity and fun, and then help our students to sing musically, take risks, and learn new skills. We believe in the power of music education, and we strive to ensure our students receive a well-rounded experience (including music literacy skills and proper vocal technique), using music that is familiar and easily accessible.

​Members of these ensembles also have the opportunity to learn genre-specific skills such as healthy and stylistically appropriate singing, beatboxing, modeling instruments sounds using only their voice, modifying technique to adjust for the presence of sound support, and performing in various contemporary styles.
