In our high school choir, students learn and develop skills in vocal performance skills, musical leadership, choral ensemble, and sight-reading using solfege. We lead worship services at area churches, participate in festivals, and offer two annual concerts, Christmas and Spring. Conveying the message in our music is a major focus of the class, and so attendance and engaged participation are a major part of the student's grade. A highlight of the year is our spring tour (we visit places like Seattle, the Oregon coast, Northern California). We come together to create a community of singers and build lifelong positive vocal and spiritual habits.

Ossia is a select chorus of 8 people. The name Ossia means "alternative passage which may be played instead of the original passage," which is appropriate to the group's focus--to perform choral music that is different, fresh, and new. Members of Ossia work together to perform music that is largely a capella, which offers a challenge beyond the average singer. All singers in Ossia will also sing in Choraleo. Members learn and develop techniques for microphone and "unplugged" singing. As a choral group that performs regularly, membership in Ossia requires a year-long commitment and a dedication to personal vocal health.

LAA Aurora is Livingstone's handbell group. Members of the group are responsible for anywhere between 3-8 bells. The group consists of 12-13 students. Students in handbells are expected to have a certain level of understanding of music reading and theory. It is very helpful if students have had piano instruction. Students read and identify music notation, follow the director in dynamics and tempo, use a variety of ringing techniques (such as malleting, martellato, singing bell, etc.). The handbell group performs in a variety of venues, including schools, churches, and Silver Falls State Park. Music at churches is a major outreach opportunity for students. Group members also enjoy attending handbell festivals, where they play with other schools.

Students focus on understanding the concept of gracious professionalism.  They will participate in "First Robotics", which is a nation-wide robotics competition.  They will learn how to design, build, and program a robot.  Students will learn how to design and print parts with a 3d printer as well as many other assembly methods.

Students will learn and participate in planing, preparing, growing ,and maintaining a productive garden/industry.
