All the music classes are great! The Vocal Power class shared their first song, demonstrating their breath control. Music 6 continued exploring rhythm using percussion instruments and learned about the history of drums world wide.The Digital Music Class has improvised and composed many projects. They played a digital music scavenger hunt and created ringtones for their phones. The Music Theater Workshop workshopped a song to help determine which play the class would select. Stay tuned for more updates!
