Updated Choir Pages & February 2-6 Rehearsal Schedule

I have just updated the Elementary Choir page and the Primary Choir page with the latest songs. On these pages, choir members can access copies of their song lyrics and - in most cases - listen to YouTube videos of other choirs performing their songs. This will allow students to practice at home and memorize their songs quickly, so that during choir rehearsal we can work on refining their performance.

Here is the new rehearsal schedule:

10:20AM
12:10PM

Show Band – optional individual practice time

"I Knew You Were Treble"

Students in grades 4-6 have been working on various activities to introduce & reinforce reading/playing from the treble clef staff. 

This video is a cute way of reviewing the names of the lines & spaces on the treble clef staff. It is a parody of Taylor Swift's song, "I Knew You Were Trouble." Enjoy!
