Atkinson, Aimee

Hello VMS CHoir Tribe - I wanted to reach out to you all and let you know that because school is cancelled we will not be having our concert at MVHS on April 2nd. We will also be out for the choir festival April 16th. Which means that we won't worry about the Boise festival on Aprli 29th.

It is perfectly alright to be sad about all of these dissapointing changes. I know I am. However, it is also important to remmebr that music isn't about the performance. Music is not about being up on stage and singing something once in public. Music is so much more! Music is about connecting to the people around you, about expressing your thoughts, feelings, and the world around you. Music is about so much more than a concert. We will find ways to make music togehter - you have my word on it.

Yo Yo Ma - Songs of Comfort Interview

This interview is a great place to start when you are looking for connection and community through music right now. I can't wait to see what videos you find and what touches you during this time!

We are trying something a bit more robust in our communciating online these days.

I have added a Music Resourcse page where I will be adding music resources, videos, ideas for msuic at home, as well as thoughts, ideas, "Atkinson'ism's", etc. 

There is also a Performace Library page where I will be uploading all videos past and present I have of VMS Cocnerts, and some rehearsals. 

Please be in touch if you would like specific resources for msuic at home, or naything else youmay need in these unconventional times. My thoughts are with you all!
