What a wonderful week! The Vocal Power class performed their International Songs. This unit explores how to perform music from around the world. Music 6 completed their International unit as well. Students chose a country, then explored the country's musical traditions and characteristic instruments. See below for some excellent examples. The Digital Music Class explored how music can manipulate our interpretations of what we see. The Music Theater Workshop classes continue to prepare for their November 8 performance at 1:40 PM.
