In April and May, three KPBSD Redoubt Elementary music classes (4th, 5th, 6th) joined students from Michigan and Texas to learn a song and employ technology to create a video with 115 young people from three states singing the same song together in a virtual choir!

“We are following the model of Eric Whitacre’s virtual choirs, one of which you can see here,” said teacher, Ms. Pugia. “Students learned and recorded, individually or in small groups, a song that they and two other choirs also learned. Together, all of the videos were uploaded and multi-tracked (voice and video) into one cohesive project, so the whole song is heard as if it is sung by just one choir all in the same place!”

Thank you to:

• Algonquin Middle School (Chippewa Valley School District) directed by Ms. Woodman
• Redoubt Elementary School (Kenai Peninsula Borough School District) directed by Ms. Samantha Pugia
• Sugar Land Middle School (Fort Bend ISD, Texas) directed by Ms. Capdau

All composer credits are in video. All songs copyright to original composers.
