Canada Choir Tour, Day 6

Today we spent quite a bit of time traveling from Quebec City back to Montreal. We have left the awesome hotel and are now staying at a dorm at the College Jean-de-Brebeuf. What a system shock to go from one to the next!

On our way back to Montreal, we stopped at an elementary school and presented our music to the children in an instructional way. Since this school is primarily a Jewish school, we were asked to teach the children about the ­­­­­­"how" with our music. Tom Granum shared the different melodies, harmonies, and a bunch of other things that my musically declined self did not quite get. The kids loved the presentation and the humor with which we approached some of it.

Today, there will be no pictures accompanying this post since the wireless internet is out at the college and I cannot get my laptop with the pictures connected. I am using a computer in the college's computer lab. The keyboards are similiar enough to make the differences between English and French keyboards noticable. The letters are all in place, but none of the other characters are where they should be! I keep having to hunt for familiar and often used characters on the keyboard!

Tomorrow, we sing at one of the most famous churches in Montreal: Notre Dame Basilique! Off to practice the music!
