Gender – IMEA Policy: The IMEA strives to provide equal opportunity for and create positive experiences for all students. Considering historical choral traditions, and the fact that contemporary composers continue to create new compositions for traditional voicing, vocal range and timbre, the Chorus Division Representatives maintain the belief that part assignments are best suited for students as follows: Soprano/Alto – female voices and Tenor/Bass – male voices.
