🎸Notes about the Music Classes🥁
Vocal Power students have begun preparing for their Vocal Power Showcase, A Celebration of Song!! They learned how to correctly hold a microphone this week. Music 6 completed the Harmony Unit, performing both their mash-ups and a ukulele song. The Musical Theatre Workshop Classes are also learning about microphone use, scenery changes, costuming, and prop design. Show Choir and 7/8 Singers met this week before school. Thank you to the amazing singers who start my day off with their wonderful singing!
