My First Traditional Choir Concert

11/14/2017

I have always been more interested in producing musicals and more theatrical programs, but I have been faced with a "but, it's what's always been done" attitude here at Sunnyvale. I am now running BOTH a 4th grade Choir AND a 1st and 2nd grade musical after school to satisfy what the current administration wants and what I know is more appropriate for the age groups that I am teaching.  In the past, the 4th graders were auditioned for a 50 member competitive choir and all the grades each put on a full grade level musical that used up nearly 50% of their in-class time for the year. BUT, that is not good teaching!!  I am trying to change the system slowly. 

This evening was my very first full choir program. These children have signed up for an after school choir class on Tuesday afternoons and have been working diligently to present their music to the audience. They sounded beautiful!
