Wow, that’s a lot of music! Do I have to learn it all at once?

Absolutely not! New members are encouraged to learn just one or two songs at a time. For private performances, you may hold your sheet music in a black folder.

How do I learn the music?

You will be given access to the STS Google drive where learning tracks for each voice part of every song in our current repertoire are available.
