Tuesday, Sept. 18: growing

We're growing! We enjoyed meeting and singing with our new members tonight. It sounds so good with a few more voices! And, there's lots of room for more!

Here's what you missed if you missed Teen Choir tonight:
1. Warm-ups included breathing exercises and vocal stretching.
2. We sang up to the end of page 6 in True Colors. We're going to look at 49 next week! There's clapping at 49.
3. By request, we sang an Adele song. Heather sings a wicked Someone Like You accompanying herself on the guitar, and we all sang along. It was awesome!!!
4. We had Oreo cookies again for a break snack.
5. We then sang Owl City's Firefly! Fun! You should have heard us. We were so strong on Firefly, without any accompaniment at all- a cappella.
6. We got some beautiful harmonies going with the allelujahs in Waiting Here for You  and next week we're going to start making it our own.
7. We sang Count on Me and Good Time (even though some of us think it's too repetitive) again, and talked about how to jam with your instrument when you know the keys.

For next week, I'll have figured out how to transpose for alto sax and maybe clarinet. ( I think it's down 3 and up 2) We'll see if we can remember our instruments next time and also take them out of their cases-they work better that way ;)
