AMS Chorus News
Weekly update for the Chorus at Austin Middle School
Week Two
This week (Aug 13-17) we worked on notes on the staff and singing scales. We had a quiz on Thursday. 7th and 8th grade have already been posted to Parent Portal and 6th grades will be done over the weekend.
Next week (Aug 20-24), our singing tests will be postponed until Friday, August 24th. Not everyone will be able to record themselves in one day. 7th and 8th grade will continue to learn new pieces for the upcoming concert. 6th grade will continue to focus on "finding our voice", posture, and breathing. There are no other quizzes or tests scheduled for this week.
Honor chorus opportunities and All-State (for 7th and 8th grades) are wonderful opportunities for students to excel in chorus outside of the classroom. Audition dates are listed below and information will be coming home on Monday about these opportunities!
It is a pleasure and a joy to see and teach your children each day. The chorus room is full of learning, laughing, and building friendships. Please feel free to stop by anytime and check out what is going on in room 213!
Have a great weekend!
