These girls do an amazing job and it is hard to believe that with a once a week practice. With an age range of 7 - 13 years old, their voices can fill an auditorium. This performance though was at a local Historical Church mostly as a dress rehearsal for family and friends. It was followed by a small reception for parents to mingle with other parents and comment on their wonderful sound. Well, don't take my word for it, here is a clip from my new camera.
This clip is from a part in the concert where they split the older girls and the younger girls to show certain pieces.
Isabella does not realize how much she is learning with this group. Karl had commented one day after hearing her sing at church that we should look into private lessons. I explained the training she is getting from Schubert Singers is just as good as private lessons for age group and what we pay for the entire season, about 4 - 5 months, is what one or two lessons would cost. The most important point is her enjoyment in the process. She enjoys singing, even if it is not the right words, as Karl and I chuckle over her rendition of Bicycle Built for Two to the tune of one of the songs in Phantom of the Opera.
