	Welcome to my class! I am hoping to make music fun and meaningful for all ages. In the elementary, we will be learning the fundamentals of music, playing games, and preparing for concerts. In the Junior High choir we will be working toward singing in 3 part-singing. In the High School we are doing a great job at singing in 3 part mixed music and are beginning to sing in 4 part octavos. The High school students are also singing in a men's choir and a women's choir.
