Music is notably one of the best things about being a Siren.

We are a completely member-run group, with no faculty advisor, vocal coach, or anything of the like. Everything is a group effort, and everyone always gets a say.  We do all of our own arrangements, and always have a full new repertoire each semester.

At the beginning of every semester we get together and pick out songs to perform at our end of semester concert with the Trads.  (A widely attended campus event, we might add!)  Throughout the rest of the semester, we spend most of our time teaching and learning the solo and group songs that we have chosen. We also prepare both old and new songs for our other concerts.  We teach almost entirely aurally, and without sheet music.  It may not be the most technical way but it works well for us!

To give you more of an idea of the wonderful music we make, here is a taste of what we have performed on our released CD's. Click on the song to hear a clip!
