Another year has flown by even more ....

Another year has flown by even more quickly than previous years at the schola. 

The Spring Showcase on May 7th was a huge success! It was an opportunity to walk the audience through some processes, and share our successes and growth since our last showcase. It certainly put the Little Lambs on a high which will get them peaking at the exact right moment for the Year End Concert while also locking in our year’s work. It is evident that they need an audience to get them excited about performing and this is probably true for all of our schola singers. The Little Lambs and I delighted in the participation of our audience - particularly in the game “Billy, Billy” which revealed that we are all kids at heart. 

I am so proud of each Little Lamb and highlight the following:

1. Singing on the air with full-throated ease which allows them to sound older than they are. 
2. Their enthusiasm and pure joy of singing. 
3. Their persistence with the more challenging concepts and skills of the program which has meant embracing mistakes and not relying on the group collective.
4. Their growth in becoming congregational singers and their excitement for singing in Latin. 

This is also the time of year to say goodbye to those who are moving up to the Junior program. It is with heartfelt interest that I will continue to watch their musical and personal growth. Thank you for the memories that I will hold dear.  To those returning, I am already looking forward to our next year together.  I know that those singers will continue in their refreshing enthusiasm and will grow into leadership roles; some already have shown evidence of this. This is the beauty of multi-aged classes. 

I wish you all a safe and joyous summer where daily blessings abound.

Love Miss Katheryne
