Select Choir Auditions

Starting the second week of classes, Mr. Siegenthaler will
be holding auditions for the Tamarac Elementary Select Choir.  Any student in grades 3-5 can audition.  Students
will be asked to sing "Happy Birthday" as well as repeat
some short patterns.  Students will be judged based on
their headvoice, tone, volume, intonation (are they
in-tune?), and range.


 

Music is Taught in Schools

 

Not because you are expected to major in music

 

Not because you are expected to play and sing all your life

 

Not so you can relax

 

Not so you can have fun

  

But so you will be human.

 

so you will be able to recognize beauty.

 

so you will be sensitive.

 

so you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world

 

so you will have something to cling to

 

so you will have more love, more compassion,
more gentleness, in short, more life.

  

Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living
when you never learned how to live?

 

That is why music is taught.
