Last Friday of the Month!!!

Choir was great today!  I can't believe it's already been a month !!!

I will try to always keep you up to date on what we learned and whats coming up next.

Today:

Jr. Choir 

• Learned choreography for one of there songs "Stand by Me".  They are really getting better at this song.
• They also started learning the rap part of "Never say Never" I'm actually surprised how fast they picked it up. 
• They started the basics of "Beat Boxing" and everyone took turns making beats for the kids in the class to mimic.

What they can work on for next week:

• Ask them if they can sing "Stand by Me" and show you the choreography.
• Help them learn the rap part of "Never say Never" so they feel more comfortable rapping it.
• Show them a video on youtube of some one beat boxing.  I'm sure they will LOVE it
•  If anyone missed class or was sick just do the following above and they will be fine for next week.

Sr. Choir

• Learned how to do a little bit of "Stepping" a.k.a "Stomping.  This was to help them feel the beat and learn coordination.
• We learned 2 new songs.  One of them was a mash up with Eminems song "I'm not Afraid" and the other was Katy Perrys "Titanium."  We are working on getting this song down better.  The other song was Linkin Parks "What I've Done"  we will go over this more next week.
• We are learning how to break into parts.  It's a bit challenging since the kids have not done this before, but we were able to do it today and it sounded very good.

What they can work on for next week:

• Show them a youtube video on people stepping.  I would love them to see how others feel the beat and enjoy it.
• Have them practice the "Oath" song.  We will be trying to learn parts soon.
• They each will have a 30 second solo due next week.  This is for every child in the choir.  This will teach them how to perform in front of others and prepare them for auditions.  This needs to be no more then 30 seconds so please have them time themselves.  They can sing or Rap, whatever song they choose.
