This hybrid model class will meet in person every other Saturday for 3 hours and every other Saturday for about an hour or two to review what was taught in person (example: sopranos and altos may be called together then released whilst tenors and bases work together). Everyone will be given the opportunity to audition for solos (includes duets and small group numbers). These will be worked on every Wednesday virtually (about 1 hour commitment per child).
