Now
we're all back in the swing of things. We've had a great beginning to the
year and I am very excited about all of the challenges we have ahead this
year. Our Christmas Play Writing Class will be starting up soon and I'm very
excited to see what our young playwrites will be creating this year. How will
we save Christmas again. In the Spring we are looking forward to Disney's
Alice In Wonderland Jr., the spring musical. It's a fun, new adaptation of
the Disney classic written for a young cast; it updates some old classics
like a hip hop Zip A Dee Doo Dah.
In
class we are making a major emphasis on the basics of Music Theory while the
upper classes are focusing on Music History. 4th Grade will begin studying
the Christmas opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" by Gian Carlo
Menotti. All classes have already begun this year's music for the Christmas
Concert. I have a lot of planning to do.
