Maestro Lee Mathews has begun plan-

ning for our June 7 concert, “It’s a

Wonderful World.”

Auditions are open now for the third

quarter of the 2014/2015 season. Sing-

ing is good for the mind, the soul, and

even the heart. Yes, there are studies

that show it has MANY positive physi-

cal and mental benefits (http://

ideas.time.com/2013/08/16/singing-

changes-your-brain/) but singing with

the Everett Chorale offers so much

more. We are active in our communi-

ties to share choral music with others

through concerts, sing-outs and com-

munity events. We welcome singers

and of all ages. We are volunteers, giv-

ing back to our communities through-

out the year. We aren't just singers,

we are friends and neighbors, helping

the needy of the community with food

baskets and Christmas gifts for needy

families. We offer classes on introduc-

tory music theory to help members

read and understand music.

Many talented singers would

like to sing with the Chorale,

but need a review of the ba-

sics of reading music.

As a follow-up to our first

course in understanding the

basics of music, two mem-

bers of the Everett Chorale

board with extensive music

backgrounds are offering

“Music 102, More about Un-

derstanding the Basics of Mu-

sic.” This quarter’s classes,

free to Chorale members,

include 30 minute discussions

on key signatures, major and

minor scales, chord progres-

sions, the Circle of Fifths,

counting practice, harmony

and time signatures.

Attendees report that the

information learned from

these classes has given them

a new sense of understanding

and confidence in their music

reading ability.

If you would like to sing with

the Chorale but want a re-

view of reading music, con-

tact us at

nfo@everettchorale.org for

more information.
