This nine weeks in my class...

In all classes we are continuing to learn to sight-read music, match pitch, explore harmonies, and follow the written music score. Our girls' UIL group will rehearse Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:30 - 5:00 this nine weeks. At the Pre-UIL contest the girls scored the second highest score possible. We look forward to the UIL competition on March 6 / 7. Watch for an update on our 9-weeks concert date. Many of our promising young singers will be attending a concert by the U.S. Naval Academy Men's glee Club at Jefferson High School on March 11th


This Nine Weeks' Homework:
Students will be required to watch a musical on KLRN (Channel 9) and write a review this 9-weeks.

Upcoming Tests:

Tests: A weekly choir grading rubric and individual vocal knowledge demonstrations are worth a total of 60% of a students' grade and will be recorded each Friday. The remaining 40% will be from tests, including 2 test grades from participation in our 9-weeks concert. The students who are unable to attend the concert will have a written report on a classical time period composer assigned to make up the test grade.

Music connects us to our history, our traditions, our heritage. It stirs our memory and emotions. Music is an inherent ability in every person, simply awaiting development. I look forward to helping each student develop their musical abilities in choir this year.
