Chamber Ladies and Gentlemen:

Piano will be a part of your jury.  It will be worth 20 pts.  Please begin reviewing  scales and cadence patterns. You will choose 2 scales out of a basket and perform them for 10 pts each. They don't have to be memorized, but I won't provide paper copies. You should have your own.

VC - We will resume piano studies this week.  You've had a long vacation!!
We will discuss your piano jury requirements in groups.

Rep. Chorus - We will resume music theory this week.  Please check Synergy for missed tests.  Time is running out.

Vocal Students - Recital Credits are due!!

Ladies and Gentlemen of VC

We will complete rotations tomorrow 3/4, before I go leave for All-State.  The Daffodils will get extra time in piano next week, because their group lost time trying to take the survey.

Chamber - I've enjoyed your arrangements very much.  We will listen to your creations in groups next week.

Have fun at All-State!!!!!!!

Chamber  - Please finalize your Garage Band arrangements so that you can share them next week.
RC 3&4 - Please continue practicing descending intervals.  I've posted several websites that have excellent practice tests and examples.

Chamber piano -- You have done an excellent job with your arrangements on Garage Band.  Congratulations!!
I would like to have a little "listen and tell" after the LGPE Concert next Tuesday.  I'm very proud of you.

Tulips, Crocuses and Daffodils -  Jingle Bells???? Hmmm...   Lets try harder to complete the assignment next time.  Some of you played very well.  Stay ahead of the game.  Come in before or after school to practice if you don't have a piano at a home.

Begonias - You must show progress during every check-off to get a "10".
