Kid Idol Singing Classes

This summer I am teaching two "Kid Idol" singing classes through the Artworks program. The classes are from June 9 - June 20. One is in the morning and the other is in the afternoon, they both meet at Sequiota Elementary school. Any student who likes to sing will benefit from this class! In a fun and relaxed atmosphere, students will learn how to become the "total package" in performing! You can enroll via the SPS website.

 

Plans for Next Year

Next year we are doing something different with our extra-curricular music choices for students. Instead of a "traveling Show Choir," the Wilson's Creek Music Department will be presenting a Kids Broadway Musical on our stage. Next week there will be a consensogram in the lunch room for all fifth graders to give their input on which musical they would prefer we choose.

Instead of "Show Choir Auditions" in the fall, there will be "Musical Auditions" for main characters, supporting roles, and the chorus.

Information about auditions will be available during the first few weeks of the new school year!


I have loved working with your talented and respectful students! Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns; krcavener@spsmail.org or via the blog ~ Dr. Kim Cavener
