A Great Start to the Year

Hello choir parents!

We’re off to a great start at here at NMS Choirs! All of our students have been working hard, and they’re sounding really, REALLY good! They’re already able to sing through 2 full songs, and they’re all doing very well with the Music Theory we’ve been working on! Personally, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids to be teaching during my first year, and I’m sure Mr. Norwood would agree that all of the students are a joy to teach and to be around.

Additionally, thank you so much to everybody who has already signed up to volunteer in some way for our choirs. It means a lot to Mr. Norwood and I, and it’s incredibly beneficial to the students. While checking the sign up genius, we noticed that we’re a bit light in terms of chaperones for all of the concerts, especially in regards to 7th grade parent chaperones.

If you are at all able to help out, it would be gratefully appreciated if you could please check the sign up genius for your students grade level and sign up to chaperone so our performances can run smoothly! Thank you! Mr. Norwood and I can’t wait for you to see all the hard work your kids have been putting in at Swing Fry.

Mr. Maura – Introduction

Hi there! I’m Mr. Maura! I am so excited to be joining NMS Choirs, and I can’t wait to meet all of the students and make some amazing music! I just graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Choral Music Education in April, so this will be my first year teaching. I have always loved choir, and my experiences both singing in and teaching ensembles throughout college have only further bolstered that love. I am committed to working with Mr. Norwood to ensure the already thriving choir community here at NMS continues to grow and flourish! I cannot wait to meet you all in person. Until then!
