We will sing, alone and together
Any CBMS student, grades 5-8, is welcome to participate
We will have regularly scheduled rehearsals
I will help you learn your music both by demonstration and music reading
There will be opportunities for solos and highlights of students and small groups
Students will have a chance to weigh in on song choice
We will listen to varied examples of the songs we're singing and study recordings of excellent choirs
There will be festival opportunities beyond our school walls to work with students from other schools and work with conductors from outside our community.
Our singing will be done remotely
Performances will look different- they may be a video release, posting of an audio track, an outdoor event (I still have hope for this in the spring!)
There will be Zoom rehearsals, as well as audio and video recording expectations*
Nobody will have to sit on a tiny bench during rehearsal
Much less sitting quietly while another section rehearses
No early morning rehearsals!
Rehearsal times will need to be flexible as the school year and school schedule changes- our work will be a combination of synchronous and asynchronous. I will make sure the schedule does not conflict with other classes/practices. The rehearsal schedule may be split between sections (ie. Sopranos rehearse at 1:15, Altos at 1:30)
