Our choral directors have been meeting all summer to keep improving the experience for choral singing on Zoom, since sound delay and varying internet speeds are a universal challenge. The parking lot may be a new classroom for a few of our first rehearsals, so that these choral friends have the boost of hearing their collective sound and seeing in-person smiles! And each choral director is making the most of COVID-time with new activities that expand learning beyond a typical choral rehearsal. Many thanks to all of our devoted singers for learning and laughing as the continued to sing together this spring...like the timeless, tireless Songweavers shown here!
Want to learn more? Visit our website at www.ccmusicschool.org for registration and faculty info, or to ask about starting or continuing lessons, or joining a chorus or ensemble. The Music School's lessons and programs are being delivered by an outstanding faculty who have drawn continuing praise for the quality of their teaching since the Music School transitioned to remote learning. Student recitals and weekly performance workshops will continue on YouTube and Zoom, building on the highly successful series this past spring.
Faculty and staff are continually developing new opportunities for fun and stimulating learning -- watch this e-news for new online group classes starting in October!

Everyone’s safety is the priority as we go forward! The Music School is following all CDC and State of NH official guidelines. We have also adopted the guidelines developed by the researchers at Johns Hopkins for our colleagues at Peabody Preparatory, which detail requirements for choral and instrumental ensembles, singers, and a variety of instruments. Thanks to our wonderful musical family for continuing to cheerfully keep each other safe and healthy while making music together-while-apart!
