Choral I rotates every 9
weeks. These students learn how to
recognize notes and rests, how to count notes and rests, and they learn the
definitions of many different music symbols.
This is very helpful to them as we sing songs in class on a daily basis. These students are also offered
the opportunity to write their own lyrics and music and to perform it for the
class. |
Choral II is currently preparing
for our Spring concert to take place on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:00 pm We are focusing on posture,
facial expression, tone, volume, and overall presentation. Our concert will be presented in
2 parts: Patriotic selections and a
musical revue called “Cinemagic”. We also have reviewed counting
rhythm and dynamics. We will learn to
apply these concepts to our singing. |
Choral III is also currently
preparing for the Spring program. We
work on the same concepts as the 7th grade but at a slightly more
complex level. Conducting is also an
important topic which we will cover in Choral III. It is a wonderful assessment of the ability
to count rhythm and be able to convey proper rhythm and tempo to their peers. Awards will also be presented
during the May 6 performance!! |
