Yesterday went pretty well for a Monday. During our music theory class we talked about chord progressions and where different chords lead. I drew a diagram on the whiteboard showing the tonic and where it could possibly go and from those cords where they continue to progression to finally and on the tonic chord at the end. Student had a lot of fun making up their own chord progressions and riding three-part chord progressions. I play them off for the class and they seemed to really enjoy doing that.
During concert choir we reviewed the music that we will be at the festival tomorrow. A few of them seemed a little clueless to the fact that we would be performing tomorrow at a festival. I don't understand how some of them are so clueless as to what's going on. When we make announcements for weeks and weeks and weeks and I still don't know what's going on it is very frustrating. They sound great they're working really well together I wish they were just a little more focused.
Mixed chorus we reviewed our festival literature for the concert I also worked on let everything that has breath which we were performing next Wednesday evening. I taught my first teacher work sample lesson on tuning this particular one we worked on descending intervals and tuning does. They did really well and with I was surprised with the outcome.
Today during singers we also reviewed our festival music that we performed several weeks ago because we will be performing them at the state chamber festival this Saturday. I absolutely love that group of kids. They have amazing voice is amazing talent and it's really fun personality. I think I'll miss them the most. I connect with him a lot of different levels and I love conducting them when they're very focused. We were able to listen to recordings from the last festival and make some decisions about what we can do to improve.
During women's chorus today we also prepared for the festival tomorrow. Debbie came in a company to end it was refreshing to have a real person playing piano and not recording. The girls are doing awesome it was really difficult for me today because I had to choose to soloists for when I seen. There were three or four girls at Absolute Leon voices and I just had to narrow it down to two. I came down to who can project the most sense I don't think we'll have Mikes on stage tomorrow. Overall I love that class I know I'm gonna miss them a lot there a few girls that really drives me nuts but for the most part they are awesome. Overall the last two days have been really good and look forward to the next week and a half before I finish up.
