We would like to thank the PTO for their hard work on the Blizzard

Bash to try to help raise money for our school. Unfortunately, the

turnout wasn’t as good as we had hoped so it’s uncertain if they will

be able to offer it again. If you went and had a great time, or if you

don’t want to lose this fun event for future years, please make sure

to thank a PTO member! Special thanks to Huyen Izenour for her

tireless efforts on everything from planning and organizing to

decorating and cooking, setup and cleanup. The hours she put in

are too many to number, and we at Pemetic are very grateful and

lucky to have such dedicated parents as she and the ones who

helped her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

SINGING BRIDGE CLASS ellsworthcommunitymusic.org

Mondays, February 13 – April 24, 2017 (no sessions Feb. 20 or Apr. 17) $150 per child for a total of 9 sessions

3:30pm – 4:25pm Age group: 7-12 years old

All sessions will be held at: General Bryant E. Moore Community Center

125 State Street Ellsworth, ME 04605

Early childhood music educator Deborah Reinke will lead this unique singing class for students 7-12 years of age with the intention to bridge to a larger and more

comprehensive children’s chorus through ECMI in the future.

This group setting will allow students an opportunity to learn essential skills for singing in a chorus. The class will introduce basic vocal techniques including posture,

breath support, vowel formation, diction, and phrasing. Students will sing for and with each other. In addition to singing songs with two-part harmonies, students will

learn fundamental music theory and ear training skills.

Deborah was born in Rumford, Maine and received a B.M. in Music Education from the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY. Her interests in Music Learning Theory

eventually led her to study with its creator, Edwin Gordon, and she received an M.M. under his tutelage at Temple University. While at Temple, she was trained in Early Childhood Music Education and has been teaching classes to preschool children in

many venues during the last 22 years. Deborah also helps direct the GSA fall musicals and sings regularly in her church choir and with the Bagaduce Chorale. She is an ECMI

faculty member and co-led the popular ECMI Children’s Chorus in 2016.

Classes will be held on Mondays from 3:30pm – 4:25pm, starting February 13th and run through April 24th. Students will also have an opportunity to share in the wonder of performance with ECMI students at an April 30th recital. The cost for the 9 session

class is $150 per student.

Pre-registration is required and space is limited to 10 students.
