The Holidays Are Here!

This week we are looking at holiday music.  As we approach the holiday season, we should begin to look at music that would be appropriate for a holiday or Christmas performance.  In this blog post you will need to find one holiday or Christmas piece that will be appropriate for a choral performance.  Your selection can be for a choir or for a solo singer.  Include in your post why you chose the selection, what musical elements about it make it appropriate for holiday or Christmas, and whether or not you would perform in the selection yourself either as a solo or in a choir. All posts should be made by Friday November 16, 2018. No late posts accepted. Include a link to the video.

It's My Birthday!

On this blog post, you need to look for songs that where released on your birthday or in the month of your birthdate. The year must match the year you were born. Check the top 100 or Billboard charts for the year you were born. You might be lucky to find one for your date. Include a link to the video and discuss something about the song you have found. You may have to do a little research to find out more information. Spelling and grammar count in addition to the post being at least 1 full paragraph. Due by Friday, October 26, 2018 at 11:59 pm.
