Have a Blessed Summer!

I can’t believe we are at the end of another year at SJCS. This year, the students in the Junior Choir learned so many new songs, and furthered many of their musical skills. Make sure to ask your children to share all about scales, absolute note names, time signatures, rhythms and melodies. They are really starting to be able to understand what they see on a piece of music and how this translates into what it will sound like. As they have become more comfortable with these skills, I am starting to see new musical leaders emerge in the group. 

These returning students will be integral to the Junior Choir as we say goodbye to our grade six students. These grade six students are well prepared for the Senior Choir and are excited to learn music in a whole new setting, with basses and tenors added to the mix! We got to have just a little taste of that with our school wide selection at the last mass, and I know they are eager for more. We wish all of our grade six students the best and will miss them greatly in our Junior Choir. 

It has been a wonderful year, and I wish you all a blessed summer. Keep singing!
