Weekly update for the Chorus at Austin Middle School
Happy Friday!!
We have had a busy two weeks as we have begun to learn our music for LGPE. Each class is doing an amazing job. 7th and 8th grades were given the challenge of learning all their music in solfege BEFORE we learned any lyrics - and they are doing so great! Sixth grade is sounding better and better each week and really becoming a cohesive performance ensemble!
Students will have another singing quiz coming up at the end of next week. We will designate about 10 min of each class next week to practicing for this. There are also rehearsal tracks on Canvas (and I will upload more) that the students can use to practice at home. Students will also need to begin practicing at home for their next summative scales test that will begin on January 30th. Each class has a different scale that they are working on mastering.
8th grade: Chromatic
7th grade: Minor
6th grade: Major (Do - Do)
Enjoy your 3 day weekend!
