The vocal students at Arise were all smiles as we warmed up our voices singing tongue twisters and major scales. Each student patiently took their turn at singing up the scale "A Big Black Bug, Bit a Big Black Bear" (try it ten times fast while singing!) The group the learned a new piece of music focused around the Major Scale in C. It is a pleasure to sing with these students.

The Ukulele students are still working on mastering how to tune their instruments. This turns out to be a difficult task while learning virtually. It has not put a damper on the students' spirits. They carry on with a focus on proper fingering for the F and C chords. One student is particularly interested in playing Hawiian music so each week we press on one step closer to that goal!
