For 6th graders interested in choir:

 

Dear 6^th grade parents/guardians:

 

Hello! My name is Mrs. Pool and I am the high school music director.  I want to invite you all to audition for the APCS 7^th and 8^th Grade Choir! We have a fantastic time singing and we learn a lot!

 

Why should I want my student to be in a music program?

Everyone knows the old adage: "Music makes you smarter." But, there's much more to it than that:

• Learning a craft that will last a lifetime.
  
• More chances for scholarships!
  
• Learning to work with people in a group (we all need this when we get to the real world!)
  
• Finding confidence that will show through in other areas of life
  
• Preparing for job interviews through auditions and performance tests!
  
• Learning to read and communicate in a universal language: music.
  
• Learning time management.
  

 

Does my student need to audition for the choir?

Yes, but this audition is to hear your vocal range and let me ask a few questions.  I will also be asking your teachers about your attitude and your grades.  Other than that, it's a very simple procedure!!

 

If you would like to be part of the APCS 7^th and 8^th grade choir next year, feel free to email, call or stop by my classroom so we can make arrangements for a VERY QUICK audition!  My classroom is next door to Mrs. New's room.  Please try to contact me within the next week!

 

Thank you!

Mrs. Pool
