All Vocal Students:  Please continue working on you individual choir and Chorale repertoire.

Everyone except our new VC members should have completed their repertoire by this point, regardless of whether or not we've gotten to it in class.

I'm looking forward to groups after the concert.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You should be reviewing all repertoire for your individual choirs and Chorale.  It's very important that you practice on your own, so that we can move at a faster pace in class. I'm looking forward to a great week of rehearsals  and progress.  Thank you in advance.

Vocal contracts  should have been turned in last Friday.

We begin rep today.

Practice, practice, practice!!!
Juries and finals are right around the corner.

Independent Study Pianists:  complete your pieces and get them performance ready.  Just completing a piece (playing the correct notes and rhythms) doesn't make it performance ready.  I need dynamics, articulations and style.

I'm so glad to resume Piano Groups!
I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing all of you.

Start thinking about your piano jury.

Beginners will play "What Can I Share?"

Independent Students - We will discuss your progress and decide what piece or skill you will be required to perform.

Chamber Senior Pianist - You have 2 choices for your piano final:


  1.  You may play your completed piano piece
  2.  You may choose 3 scales out of a basket to play, cadence pattern included.  You will have an      appropriate amount of time to practice during your session.

We will resume piano classes after the concert.

PLEASE REVIEW and be prepared.
