5-8 Choir
I don't think I can tell you too often that this group of kids is a super special bunch. Truly, if you can keep your kids in Choir again next year you will see some major benefits over time. This is a group that is uplifting, they put themselves out there with challenging things, they are kind and encouraging, and man can they sing. I love the community they share together and how they push each other to excellence! Keep up the good work!
Keep practicing your songs at home with the practice tracks. Our focus recently has been:
Storm: Using diction to add intensity and energy to this piece. Adding dynamics and how to do that appropriately with the voice.
Lift Your Hearts: Good diction and pure vowels to create a perfect blend. This is such a difficult piece and they have tackled it head on!
Seasons: Learning parts, especially in the sections where the rhythms aren't the same across all parts. Adding dynamics in such a gentle song which is tricky compared to "Storm".
