Choir & Music Happenings at Jack Hille Middle School
Happy New Year!
Hello Musicians and Fans!
I hope 2021 brings joy and peace to each of you! A new year is a great time to establish goals for the year. My personal goals include running another marathon, being a more eco-conscious consumer, re-learning the violin, and creating more time for friends and family.
For our music program at Hille, my goals are as follows:
- Create meaningful performances for our community that give back
- Establish connections with our Hille families and singers outside of the choir room (for example, host virtual social events)
- Increase student choice and direction in all my classes
- Continue to learn about how to meaningfully incorporate technology
What are your goals? Let's make 2021 the best year yet!
Musically yours,
Ms. Hoefer
