As usual, we will look at what other people do with our song, and then we'll play with it and make it our own. I'm looking forward to seeing how Thankful turns into a TTC song!

Thankful for this inspiring performance
We've decided to sing this song for Christmas. Josh Groban is awesome, but Todd is ours and awesome. Todd is a member of the York Region Community Choir, my adult choir in Newmarket. Listen to this amazing voice, fabulous performance. Todd owns this song.

September 17th Review
Hey! We have a new member! Yay!
We're doing well making our own versions of Undignified and 10,000 Reasons. We'll work on adding a bit of harmony to them.
It was the first time a couple of us had ever heard 10,000 Reasons, but we picked it up very quickly. It's a really pretty song and has a very catchy chorus.
We started learning Amen and it went really well! We have 3-part harmony!
In addition to learning our performance pieces, we sang along with:
What I Wouldn't Do (Heather's version with guitar-cool)
Wake Me Up
Breathing Under Water
We took turns again with the cajon, and I think we're starting to get more comfortable with it.
At the end, we danced with:
I Need Your Love
I'm looking for a nice slow and pretty song for Christmas, something beautiful and impressive for us to sing with Amen. So far, I'm liking Thankful by Josh Grobin. There's an SSA version if your up to it.
But, I'm willing to hear other suggestions. Let me know if there's a Christmas song that you'd love for us to sing.

New season and new songs!
We are singing some fun songs this season.
Amen is going to be a good challenge for us, with several sections in 3 part harmony, and some fancy timing. I hope someone will be able to play the cajon with that. There's a drum part written for it.
Undignified will be fun for sure! It's so easy and repetitive, but we'll be adding some percussion, some harmony, and some moves!
I've been falling in love with the song 10,000 Reasons, and I think that it will be a good addition to our repertoire. Can't wait to hear Heather play it!
