MADDEN MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP
Saint Basil Academy is most grateful to the family of Dr. James Madden, who had passed away in November 2013 after 11 years as our Band Director. Dr. Madden started the band program as we know it, and developed it into a vibrant and viable part of our music program. The family of Dr. Madden established the Dr. James A. Madden Memorial Music Scholarship, which helped our students and students of Dr. Madden's other schools for four years. We also express deep gratitude to the family of Dr. Madden for their generous donation of remaining funds to Saint Basil Academy, as the foundation comes to a close. Please visit the link to read the letter from the Dr. James A. Madden Music Fund.

CONCERT CHOIR
Open to all students
Did you know that "anyone who possesses a voice with which to speak can learn to sing?" Not everyone believes that but it's true, why? because: "the vocal mechanism is the same for both." "Singing is NOT a God-given talent to a chosen few."
Talk to your daughters about becoming a member of the Concert Choir. There
are no auditions. Only that they love to sing and are
willing to do their part to produce a quality performance.
They can take it for credit or non-credit, twice a week at the beginning of lunch.
They will have many opportunities to perform, at the Christmas and Spring concerts to name a few. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know and work with girls from other grade levels.
If your daughter is joining one of the performance groups, consider having her take Elements of Music. This course teaches the basics of music theory: notes, chords, dynamics, tempo, rhythm, etc., and would be a great help in reading music.
If your daughter is interested, ask her to please email Sr. Germaine and give her name and grade for next year.
