The Digital Music Lab studied music copyright law and weighed in on the court case verdicts. They also created music inspired by photographs and paintings.

The Vocal Power class completed their Opera unit. They could choose to sing an aria or create an Opera Slide presentation. Four excellent singers learned an excerpt from Mozart's Queen of the Night aria from "the Magic Flute." Others chose to research "Carmen," and the Magic Flute. They also began exploring the International Unit, singing sings originated in anywhere except the United States.
