We had a lovely first week back into music - it was wonderful to see so many students back again for another year of learning 1) how to play and sing a great assortment of music 2) the history behind everything that we perform 3) just how weird music teachers can be (You're welcome!)

Let's talk about teen choir.

1. Teen: technically ages 12-18 (or senior in HS), depending on the maturity and comfort of the 12 year old.

2. The focus of this group is to become reasonably good mature singers that are able to carry pitch and sing with others.

3. This time in a person's life can be the most sensitive for their voice as it is maturing and changing. Treating that tool with care and developing it to have clear articulation, appropriate volume and pitch and a solid control of breathe are not only beneficial in music but in every vocal interaction that you will have in life.

4. Choir is a training ground for facial expressions that are used to convey nonverbal articulations. These are useful for daily interactions, presentations, job interviews, relationship management, campaigning, acting, etc.

5. Singing: We learn to sing. We may sing songs that haven't been sung for a hundred years. We may sing songs that our grandparents grew up with. We may sing songs in other languages. There are so many possibilities!

Do you have a student that may be interested? Do you know others that may have interested teens? Please share this registration form if you have anyone in the New Castle are that may be interested. We need at least 10 teenagers to put a group together this year and we haven't quite met that number yet. There will be some very sad kids if we can't get a few more registered, so please share this today. Thank you!
