1.  Choir –Skills learned are experience singing as a team, in unison, expression, poise, note reading, and rhythm.  Learn good vocal technique with correct posture, learning to match pitch to others, focusing on the activity being taught, following the director, and breath support.  Many skills are taught with games. The songs that we will sing are appealing to preschool thru grade school ages. These songs are lots of fun. The most important thing is to teach the children to love music; everything else will follow with instruction.

2.  Performance - The children will perform July 4th at ACF in the 10am service.  Please drop your children off at 9:30am for the warm up and party before the performance.  Parents are invited to attend.  Service starts at 10am.

2.  Music Appreciation – Learn about the composer’s musical life, geographic location, what life was like at that time, characteristics of his music, and listen to an example of his music.

3.  Instruments of the Orchestra –We will learn ten instruments of the orchestra with a CD, visual aids, and games.

4.  Theory and Ear Training– Low and high, stepping up and down, rhythmic values

5.  Solfege & Hand Signs– We use the Kodaly Moveable Do System, which teaches solmization technique for sight singing.  Sight singing is singing a song the first time.  We will use hand signs which are designed for children.  This method helps the children read music as they learn what pitch to sing when they see a note.  And, it is fun!

This class will teach some of the skills that the children should be getting in the classroom at school with a professional music teacher.  Unfortunately, many music classes have been cut over the years.  Your teacher, Sharon Nunes, has a Bachelor of Music Ed. with a piano major and voice minor. She has taught at the University of Evansville Preparatory of Creative Arts, Kimball Piano Company, and at her own studio.  Sharon has taught theory, composition, music appreciation, choir, and piano. And she accompanies voice class at Cabrillo College.  Sharon has taught music for over 30 years and has taken piano lessons for 27 years.
