CAPA's Vocal Music Department is conducted by Ms. Dorina Morrow. Vocal Music includes choral singing in large and small ensembles, individual voice training and development, solfeggio, harmony, music theory, and composition. There are two choirs: Concert Choir and Mixed Choir. The Concert Choir is made up of juniors, seniors, and some very exceptional Sophomores. The Mixed Choir is made up of only Freshman and Sophomore students. All vocal majors have to take at least one year of Solfeggio, a sight reading and ear training course. In addition, a theory class is available for juniors and seniors to teach them how to master the art of harmony. The CAPA choirs have achieved a position of excellence among choral groups in the Delaware Valley. Listed below are a few of the choir's important singing engagements: Multiple appearances on daily news shows Berlioz' "Romeo et Juliet" with Riccardo Muti and The Philadelphia Orchestra Two appearances with Barry Manilow at The Mann Music Center Appearance in the CBS special "Dreams" for which the school received an Emmy Appearance with Peter Nero and the "Philly Pops" at The Academy of Music Performed at Mayor Rendell's inauguration at the Academy Appearances in the Channel 6 Thanksgiving Day Parade
