SCIS Choir Notes
Dear SCIS Choir Families,
We made it to Friday! If I’m being honest, the past few days have been pretty challenging-- singing in masks and face shields is more difficult than we imagined! Additionally, practicing our new safety norms while also juggling the technology to have a blended classroom of face-to-face and virtual learners has definitely been a learning experience. However, the Sloan Creek students have been absolutely amazing through all of this! I am so appreciative of their patience and kindness as we charter these new territories. And WOW! It is so fabulous to hear them singing together!
SIGN UP FOR VOICE LESSONS! DEADLINE IS TODAY 9/11
Students have the opportunity to take private voice lessons during school hours as an extension of classroom instruction! These lessons are designed to utilize the characteristic literature of the voice rather than to rehearse the music a student will be performing in choir. Voice lessons can help build vocal skills, musical skills, and confidence. Please consider this incredible, important, and fun opportunity to develop your individual talent!
In private lessons, students receive individualized coaching on vocal techniques taught during choral rehearsal. The lessons will take place during the student's choir class. Cost will be $20 per 22-minute lesson. All lessons will be virtual until further notice.

CHOIR FEES
Even in a pandemic, it still takes money to run a choir program! This annual $15 fee pays for things such as student’s choir t-shirts, music, accompaniment tracks, and various other expenses. This fee is mandatory for all choir students, but if your family has a hardship, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Pay your fees by visiting our website, www.lovejoychoir.com, and selecting the FORMS & FEES button from the top menu. Many thanks in advance for taking care of this!
FACE SHIELDS & CHOIR BINDERS
This week, students were given a choir binder and a face shield. It is expected that these two items come to choir class with them every day! The face shields are extremely important in order for us to safely sing together; thank you for your help in ensuring that our students have the safest experience possible!
Virtual students will be receiving a binder with music and other materials shortly. Be on the lookout for a pick-up date in the next couple of weeks!
