Music Suggestion Day Today, you get a chance to be the chorus teacher. I go through hundreds of songs each year, trying to find something ‘just right’ for each of my choruses to sing. Today, you will help me with that process. You will be using the website to search for choral music to sing for our winter concert. Many of the songs on the pepper website have audio samples for you to listen to, so please use headphones. You will then give me your suggestions via a quia survey.. You must make at least 3 suggestions (and up to 5 - if you have more than that, you’ll need to pick your favorites). You earn a 5 point grade for successfully using the computer to search for and report your suggestions. The next pages will give you some tips for navigating the pepper website to find appropriate music for your chorus.

7 th and 8 th Grade chorus will each perform one Christmas-y or wintery song AND one Hanukkah-y song in the winter concert. The 8 th grade wintery/Christmas-y song will be recorded for the More 101FM Christmas Choir Competition 9 th Grade chorus will most likely perform 1 Christmas-y, 1 Wintery, and 1 Hanukkah-y song in the winter concert. All choruses should look for either Wintery, ’Christmas-y’, or ‘Hanukkah-y’ Songs
