Hershey, here we come!

Every year The Family Foundation School chorus takes a trip to Hershey Park to participate in a choral competition.  Whether they bring home a trophy or not, the overall experience is one to remember. With the contest approaching, Paul has been preparing the students for the intense competition. There are 16 kids in the choir and each of them brings something unique. “It’s fantastic, I love the energy and the dancing,” said chorus member Connor S.

In preparation for the Hershey Park Paul has the members learning vocal pedagogy. This entails different types of breathing techniques, phonation, tone quality, posture, vowel shaping and most importantly, discipline. When interviewing Paul he told me that the student energy was super and there was a tremendous amount of focus and energy.
