Recital Information and Recordings


Dear Preparatory 2 Families,

I want to share few important announcements regarding recital this semester:

Dear Preparatory 1 Families,

I want to share few important announcements regarding recital this semester:
 
Cantabile’s Prep classes all have their own recitals at the end of each term to showcase what we have accomplished. The recitals take place at our regular rehearsal location. Please come and support your young singers by enjoying a performance of our songs, games, and activities. This is a relaxed and fun event that you don’t want to miss! All singers must come in their Cantabile uniform.


Uniform
Please make sure that you have already ordered your singer’s Cantabile uniform! Here is a link to our uniform page: http://cantabile.org/index.php/tickets-a-store/uniforms.html 
 
The Cantabile Prep 2 uniform must include black socks (boys) or tights (girls), black dress shoes, and hair neatly combed/tied back and off the face (so we can see your beautiful facial expressions!) Please, no boots, noticeable jewellery (watches, dangling earrings, bracelets, etc.), or colourful hairbands/ties.

Summary:
1. All recitals are held on the last day of classes. (December 8-12)
2. All recitals are held at the Parish Hall, not at the Learning Center. (Parish Hall is where upper choir practices and some preparatory classes as well)
3. There will be potluck at the Learning Center after the recital. The potluck spreadsheet will be e-mailed to you.

Recital Potluck
It is a Cantabile tradition for us to follow our recitals with a potluck for singers and families. Instructions on what to bring will be coming soon!
===================================================================
Our Preparatory 2 classes will be singing three wonderful songs at the recital! Please have your children listen to these recordings as they are working toward memorization. This week, I am  distributing "lyric packet" for them to take home.

Fa, la, la, la, la (only watch from 6:07-7:30)

-Please note we will not be singing the whole song. We will also not be singing in harmony at 7:04.

May Joyful Music Fill the Air
-Please note the song is originally written as 2-part. We will be singing in unison. Please sing along with the "lyric packet."

My Favorite Things
-I actually discourage children from listening to other recordings of this song because we do it differently. Please have them really secure with knowing the text.

Additionally, stay warm and bundle up for the fall weather!
