Mr. Burnaman's choirs

Parents and Students,

We had a great first week in chorus.  6th grade parents, I fixed the link on the website and please fill out the form one more time.  

6th grade chorus and 7th grade beginning chorus:  Learning about rhythm and learning about voices.  There are some very strong voices in chorus.  I can't wait to hear them perform in a concert.  

7th advanced:  WOW!!!  This class has shocked me.  We have already been sight reading our first song and finished mapping out voices for the first concert.  I am very happy with all the students, but most impressed with the guys in 7th grade.  I have some awesome guy singers.  On Thursday, in ten minutes the students wrote down solfeggi syllables in the music, (do, re, mi) we checked them as a class, I read the music with them as a guide, and then I pushed them to read a difficult passage without my aid.  On the first try the entire class completed the entire page.  Great job people.

8th advanced:  WOW!!!  I have waited for a class like this for four years.  We have been blazing through all the assignments with skill.  We voiced all students and are well balanced.  The guys have really impressed me even in this first week.  We have sight read and started looking at the new music.  On Wednesday, I taught the students an ending to a song in less then five minutes.  It was in two parts and well harmonized by the students.  

Keep up the good work people.  

Mr. B
