After discussing the meaning behind the song Man In The Mirror and figuring out the right way to portray the meaning of the song to the audience, Emily Miller (11) adjusts her facial expressions and body language to match the tone of the song. In order to properly express a song, practice is imperative. “It’s important for us to practice so that we can not only improve our vocals, but also so that we can improve our dancing. When we practice, we build muscle memory which then helps us to nail our performances when we go to competitions,” Miller said.

Reading music from a songbook, Josh Rudman (12) learns how to play the song Country Roads with the help of Jeff Dicker (12) in Guitar 1. Rudman entered the class knowing how to play the ukulele as well as the strumstick. “Because I knew how to play these instruments, I was able to pick up guitar easily. When I first started playing the guitar, I wasn’t comfortable enough to play songs I wanted to, but I have already learned six different chords, so now I can. Aside from my previous musical knowledge, Jeff has also helped me to pick up guitar quickly. He comes to me when he needs help and I go to him when I need help; we’re guitar buddies,” Rudman said.
