Week of August 21

This week, I will assess the singers, identify their voice type and establish a seating chart.

I will find out who wants to participate in the TMEA Region auditions.

We will review/learn ascending intervals in a Major pentascale for ear training and singing purposes.  Also how to recognize them on the staff.

Continue proper singing posture and body awareness.

SS daily to prepare for Regions.

Apply theory/rhythm/history as the music requires.

Learn music for both TMEA Region auditions and first concert.
