🎵Notes about the Classes🎵 🎵Notes about the Classes🎵

The "Little Mermaid Cast," is almost off book in MTW Class. During Music 6, students completed their Harmony unit, playing ukuleles and singing rounds and solfège harmony.Everyone passed the second and third chord check-in! In Keyboard Class students performed songs in triple meter. Learning "Happy Birthday" was a popular choice. The Vocal Power Singers performed their Rock songs and started on their next vocal unit, "How to Disney" a song. In this unit they will focus on the elements of performing: interpreting, expressing, and staging a song.

In the past, Leads have written a note to the next person to play their role. They give advice on how to portray the character, handle performance jitters, and reminisce about their favorite moment. Keep the tradition going!

Sound System Upgrade

We need to upgrade our sixteen year old sound system. Six of our microphone units are no longer useable. We are switching to a digital microphone system that will prevent feedback and improve the quality of sound. We will also be able to use rechargeable batteries which will be a huge savings. We use our Sound System for the Musical, Vocal Power, and Music Theater Workshop classes as well as additional performances. Please participate in our fundraisers whenever possible! THANK YOU ALL. Special thanks to Donna Zorba-O'Brien and Tina Serio for organizing the Dine to Donate at D'Agostino's Pizza and Pub Niles! D'Agostino's is donated 15% of all sales from Tuesday, March 7!


Watch for upcoming fundraisers at Panera and Triple Scoop'd!!
