SongBirds Update

Tuesday, March 8 the last day SongBirds Chorister Training program before Spring Break.  SongBirds resumes on Tuesday, March 22.  [Calendar]

All of the children are doing great in our Ward Method singing classes!  Among our successes so far this year:

• Everyone has found their singing voice with good "head resonance"
• All the children are able to match pitch alone and with others, to remember brief melodic patterns sung or shown to them in number-symbol notation
• All of the children are fairly fluent in reading and singing melodic patterns on the "lower pentachord" (written "1-2-3-4-5," sung "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So")

When we return, we'll begin four-weeks of preparation for singing at the 5:00 p.m. Palm Sunday Mass on Saturday, April 16. [Click here for SongBirds calendar.]  At this time, children will receive a practice CD containing their music for Palm Sunday and Mother's Day.

Blessings for Spring Break renewal!
