What we've been doing lately........

Hi Everyone!


SO....   just what have we been doing lately in choir?


Leading up to our first performance we've been using songs from the following genres (yep!  Genre study in choir, too!  :)


  • Patriotic - "America the Beautiful" - opening of class with 3-8 and "This Land is Your Land"
  • Folk songs/Wartime
    • "Viva' L. Amour" - (3-8)
    • "May There Always Be Sunshine" (K-2)
    • "The Thread Follows the Needle" (K-2)
  • Musical Theater
    • "Consider Yourself" from Oliver (3-8)
    • "Do Re Mi" from The Sound of Music (all)

That's cool, but what SKILLS are they learning?    

Singing properly is as physical as any sport.  Learning to  use our instrument (body) effectively and efficiently   will train students to sing chorally but in all styles as well.

Good diction is important!  Without it, nobody understands our words.  Kinda' defeats the purpose of singing.  :)

Remember that you're welcome to visit us any time!

Mr. Riccinto
