axolotl9Another day of music classes. Hope I'm not getting typecast. :)
This was Basic Guitar and Women's Chorus at Soquel High School. For the guitar players, I basically let them do individual and group practice - I don't know how to teach guitar! Some of the kids also took a stab at the piano - umpteen variations on "Heart and Soul", gah!
The chorus class was more fun - there were a couple of girls in there who had notes on what had gone wrong in their last rehearsal, and they really wanted to hit the problem songs again (apparently they have their spring concert in 2 weeks). So that class had a proper run-through. Then we watched a movie for the second half of the (two-hour) class.
Speaking of which... whose brilliant idea was it to subject high school students to two-hour class periods, and make them go to school from 7:40 to 3:00? It's just NUTTY.
