This Week in Choir: Week 1
Good Afternoon Grissom Choir, Welcome, Parents and Students, to another great year in Grissom Choir. I am very excited to see what this new year has in store. If you are returning, welcome back. I hope that this year brings opportunity for you to learn and grow as a musician. For those that are new, I welcome you into my classroom. I like to look at Grissom Choir as being unique. We not only teach and perform music, but we strive for an all-around music education that strengthens you as a musician. This encompasses learning the theory behind what we sing, the history behind what we sing, as well as the technical aspects and enjoyments of WHY we sing. I hope that this year challenges you. I hope that it instill a passion for music that you never had before.
