"And I will sing praises to Thy name." 2 Samuel 2:50

An Overture is a musical selection usually found at the beginning of a larger musical work, like an opera, or a full concert program. It prepares the audience for what is about to take place. It quiets the talking and helps focus thoughts on the coming music. It introduces little snippets of melodies that will be expanded later into more complex, interweaving lines. It whets the appetite for the experience that is about to unfold.

My first post on this new blog is, in many ways, an overture to our school year.

I want to give you beginning glimpses and helps into what will be going on in music, K-3 classes and performance groups. For example, you will notice the column to the right which will show upcoming performance group ministries; it lists the date, time, place and group involved.

It will, as the time approaches, list when the Hymn Of The Month tests will be given in music classes.

In future posts I will cover certain topics like practicing and practice cards.

There will also be links to the Grace School website where specific forms can be read and down-loaded.

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call me at the School: (818) 909-5611. And remember to check back often for the latest information on music at Grace School!
