David Belles and BCS Choir at CMEA Bay Section Winter Conference

Last weekend, BCS choir director David Belles conducted a workshop at the CMEA Bay Section Winter Conference, an event for music educators from throughout the Bay Area.  

Mr. Belles shared teaching strategies and highlighted important key elements essential for teaching elementary choral music.  

G-Clef and Sonore, the BCS 4th-5th grade choirs, had a very special opportunity to demonstrate how these techniques can be successfully implemented.  

Mr. Belles said that both his presentation and the choirs' performances were well received by all in attendance. 

We're so proud of our students as they helped show what is possible for singers at such a young age! 

BCS Choir Students Perform at CSU East Bay

Our seventh grade baritones had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Buddy James at the California State University East Bay Men’s Chorus Festival this week as part of a special opportunity for the BCS choirs.   Mr. Belles and the group of students participated in workshops with other middle and high school students from around the Bay Area, before a joint performance in the afternoon - you can see more photos here!   Keep up the great work Mr. Belles and our choir students!
