Parents:
Please help your child practice so he/she will feel prepared for class each week.
- Ask your child to sing their part in these songs: "A Poultry Tale", "Look At Him".
- If your child has a solo in a song (or a full solo), ask he/she to sing it to you.
- Ask your child to show you what their blocking is in scenes or musical numbers.

Music for Practice
All student music will be available on the Google Drive throughout the semester. If you would like a hard copy burned onto CD for you, we can do that for you.
- Please bring a blank CDR (NOT! DVR) with your student's name and MTC group listed ON the CD (i.e. "Susie Smith, Mooresville JR MTC") You can leave with the front desk and the staff will burn these for you and give to the directors to return to you. These can be dropped off at anytime.
It is very important for the kids to practice their music outside of their once-a-week class time!
How to Memorize Your Lines and Music
Read with your parents or a sibling who can help you (they may enjoy playing the parts!).
Same with music; if you have solos, sing through them every day so you are comfortable. If you sing ensemble parts, make sure you rehearse them every day.
Dance Practice
For help practicing--- Just the Feet!
