Holiday
In this project students were asked to choose songs from the Musical Theatre that related to the Holidays. Enjoy and happy holidays to all of you from all of us.
What America Means to Me
In the weeks between Election Day and Thanksgiving students were asked to consider what America means to them. They searched for songs that stirred in them a connection to their country and their place within it. What they came back with were a patchwork of Golden Age Standards, Jazz Ballads, Contemporary Classics, and Movie Musicals. Enjoy.
