"In choir we exercise our mouths and we comfort whoever is shy in choir and we help people who do not sing properly too. It feels good to be in choir because I get to see my friends and family members and it helps to not be shy and bored because sometimes I don’t really do much at home but when I have choir songs to practice it’s really fun to learn them and to sing songs to other people."
Ke’Shari, grade 4 "Choir is a good thing to do because normally I would do my homework and have a snack but when I have choir then I would practice for choir. Singing makes me feel happy and all sorts of different emotions, like it controls the emotions.Performing, when you sing it brings the emotions, and all the people that listen to it they can feel the emotions too."
