Welcome!

Hi gang,

I'm very excited about this year and am thrilled to have you in this class. We're going to be listening to a lot of great music as well as learning howto listen to great to music.

Please visit the blog regularly. I've already posted the syllabus, and there will be other important information posted (homework assignments, etc.) as well. It's very important that you begin reviewing your key signatures and intervals now. We will be moving on to new material in September so it is crucial that you have a solid foundation upon which to build.

Keep reviewing the theory we've covered in your previous vocal classes, and we'll pick up with that on Thursday. We'll have the AP Theory pre-test next week, either Monday or Tuesday.

See you Thursday!

Ms. P
