      Above are the links from the Fall Virtual Open House 2020 that might be helpful in telling you more about each of the 3 courses that I teach this year.  Please let me know if you any questions.  I have kept them up in case they are helpful to potential students.

     

     

    Welcome to the 2023-2024school year.  On this website you will find course descriptions and expectations for each class.  Please email me if you have any additional questions at drewj3@leonschools.net.
     
    Chorus 1- Any student that is in 6th grade goes into this chorus with experience or no experience. All are welcome and all 6th graders will be in one class. We will teach you how to read music and we will have 3 mandatory concerts with all other activities being optional. You can be as involved as you want to be or have time to be in the extra out of school opportunities that will be offered.
     
    Chorus 2- Any student that has taken or not taken chorus before and is in the 7th grade goes into this class. We will teach you how to read music and we will have 3 mandatory concerts with all other activities being optional. You can be as involved as you want to be in the extra out of school opportunities that will be offered.
    Chorus 3- Any 8th grader that has taken or not taken chorus before goes into this class.We will teach you how to read music and we will have 3 mandatory concerts with all other activities being optional. You can be as involved as you want to be in the extra out of school opportunities that will be offered. 
     
     
    Drama- This class if for any student in 7-8th grade that would like to learn more about theater, improving their confidence and creativity, practice life skills and learn how to work better with others.  It is a very hands on class and has been extremely helpful in assisting students with lowering their anxiety when needing to be in front of a class or group etc.  No experience is needed.
     
    Music theater- This class is the only class you need to audition to get in to. It is open for any 7-8th grader who would like to take a class combination of Chorus and Drama.  We will put on performances and showcase our skills in acting, singing, and dancing.  The auditions will be announced in March and you will need to sing a short part of a song for me ( 1 verse, 1 chorus) and send it to me in a video format.  You will also do a 1 minute monologue for me and send that in video format.  I can take up to 24 students in this class.  We perform the most and you recieve 1 credit hour for each year you are accepted into the class. No experience is needed, you just need to be willing to learn more about performing and we will take care of the rest!

     

    Supplies needed for chorus and music theater are: Your chromebook and earbuds/headphones since you will need to hear recordings some days. It is great to have a notebook or planner digital or paper to organize your assignments in all classes.

     

    Supplies needed for drama are: Your device from home until one is given to you and bring earbuds or headphones since you will need to hear the recordings. It is great to have a notebook or planner digital or paper to organize your assignments in all classes.

     

    Syllabus is located on the left under important documents.

     

    Best way to reach me:  Students during or before your class time by email or in person.  Parents by email and know I will get back to you within 24 hours unless on the weekend.
