2013-2014

WELCOME TO THE SUMMIT ACADEMY MUSIC BLOG!!!

What to expect from the teacher:  My name Lisa Mann and I have been teaching music in different venues since 1999.  I have taught toddlers through adults and I have always thought that I have one of the best jobs in the world.  I strive to keep my classroom energetic, fun, and engaging while emphasizing the importance of hard work and focused rehearsal time. I am so excited to enter into another year of music at Summit Academy and hope to create a classroom in which every student feels comfortable letting their voice be heard. 



GREAT CONCERT!!! But we're still not done. You all are so sought after we will be singing for graduation too...so check out the graduation songs tab to practice the new songs and choreography.  Middle School and High School keep practicing Dynamite so we rock it on the last go 'round.

ATTIRE - Let's try and wear black, white and/or red for this performance...any combination of the three colors is fine, just so we coordinate.  Seiors, you can wear whatever you want :)

Time to prepare for the spring concert that will be held on Tuesday, May 7th.  This semester you will only see one song posted here on the Home page, the song "So Much to Sing About." This is the only song that you will be singing as an entire group (unless I change my mind, which sometims happens) Be sure and check your choir page by clicking the approprriate tab above, as there will be many more songs posted on those pages.  I'm looking foward to a great semester and a fun concert in the Spring.  Happy Practicing!
