For Fall Choir: September 4 to December 11, 2002
Choir Director: Wendy Platt
Accompanist: Annette Wilson

Welcome to the second Redwood Coast Children’s Choir!

Singing and music is a passion of mine and I hope to give that same passion to our children. As everything is still pretty new, there will be bumps in the road as we find the best approach. My goal for the students is to make music fun and enjoyable.

This semester I am testing out separating the children roughly by age. My intent is to have the children who are ready to be a little more serious about learning to read music in the “older” group. The “younger” group will have the others. Younger children who have the attention span (and stamina!) and wish to participate in both groups could give it a try. I am open to seeing what works best.

Included in this packet are several sheets. Please fill out and return all forms. You can keep the informational sheets. Please let me know if any of the information for your student changes so I can keep current.

In the beginning, we will be singing without music, just to get a feel. If music comes home with your child, please make sure they bring it back to practice.

To simplify things, I will be providing snacks for the children. However, due to logistics, they won’t be anything fresh (such as cut up fruit). If any parent is bringing a child and wishes to contribute some fresh cut up fruit or anything else, feel free. I can always keep my snacks for another week!

To contact me, my first choice is email. I check it often and will get back to you as soon as possible unless I am out of town. Second choice is phone. Third is by mail!
