Mark your calendars!

The musicians at LJA have had a busy quarter and are inviting you to a music celebration at the school on Wednesday February 11th at 2:00PM. The girls have been working on composing piano solos and notating the pitch and rhythm of their pieces on the music staff. We have developed a school choir and are preparing a variety of choral pieces to perform. Choir rehearsals consist of warm-ups, sight-reading, vocal development technique, and repertoire. The girls have been working on singing in two parts as well as singing in harmony.  

In Making Music, an elective class, we are building one-string dulcimers (a fretted, plucked instrument) using wood and cigar boxes. We have sanded the wood, marked the frets, and screwed on the tuning peg and are ready to glue on the nut and bridge this week!

Please come see us February 11th and bring your families! A short reception will follow.
