Choonbaboon Fun Singing Warm Up!
Harvest songs
Harvest Samba (Cabbages and Greens) [with lyrics for congregations]
Hi everyone. I have left a song sheet for our ‘sing-a-long’ with Des the weatherman! See also below for further resources. We will learn this on the day during rehearsals with Ruth and Sarah.
Keep practicing, especially the parts you feel less confident on. Listen to the music, keep in time, think about breaths ang long notes you need to hold and pitch. Remember no word sheets allowed. I will meet with you all some time on Tuesday for a final rehearsal and to go over arrangements.
I’m so excited, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
The children have been working very hard practicing for Youth Proms (Year 4, 5 and 6 only) and the time is getting closer for our performance (1 WEEK TO GO). Please see the final letter outlining details for the day. Please return this promptly.
Thanks again for your support
Mrs Pickering (Music Lead)
For those who are attending choir, please see some of the learning materials for this term and our summer concert at the end of the year (and if in Year 4,5 and 6, maybe Youth Proms). Further details will follow about these events in due course.
This year, we are performing an Elton John medley. So dig out some glasses, a hat and perhaps a feather boa and get your Elton on!
Warm up
Please see the letter attached for details regarding choir during the summer term.
We would like to invite you to join us at the end of the final Spring term session next week (24th March), to listen to what we have been singing and (here’s a clue) to celebrate Easter. We will open the doors about 5/10 minutes earlier than usual.
We hope you can make this ‘choir only mini concert’.
See you next week.
Mrs Pickering
Here are some more songs that we have been practicing in choir for you to learn at home.
