I will be assigning more Christmas book in the weeks to come.  However, if student wants to look ahead, please do.  We will be performing for the December Concert:
“Angels We Have Heard on High”
“Away in a Manger”
“The First Noel”
“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
“Coventry Carol”
I will also be handing out more classical music in the weeks to come.  I plan on using songs out of Aaron Sheerer book two.  I will make copies for those that do not own the book.  However, for those that would like the book, I highly encourage buying Book Two, but if not, I will make copies.  For those that own Book Two, please continue to bring to class.
