1. a Capella is to sing without any musical instrument (without piano, or whatever you sing with or to)
2. that means that you wont have any background music. it'll just be you singing/acting.
3. Acapella is when you sing without any music playing in the background. Just your voice alone making a melody, so to speak. It's like the American Idol auditions.
4. Capella (star of the first magnitude) is a mixed-voice chamber choir for high school aged singers. The aims of this ensemble are multi-faceted: to advance further the singers’ musicianship and vocal training, to expose the singers to a broad body of repertoire from the pre-Renaissance to the 21st century, and to prepare the singers for a lifetime of music making, in whatever form that may take. Entrance to Capella is by audition. Changed voice men are accepted beginning in the 8th grade.
