Teacher Feature: Mrs. Pratt

By: Shannon Chu and Emily Flanagan

Mrs. Pratt is a new chorus teacher this year at Wood Hill. She grew up in Ludlow, Mass. When she was a kid, she played softball, soccer, accordion, saxophone, and band. She didn’t take chorus until she was in high school, she is an Alto. She sings songs depending on her mood. 

She loves teaching the Middle School Chorus’ because she gets to help students have a deeper understanding of music when they are given the correct material. She has a chinchilla who is one of her great friends and her most beloved pet. She loves listening to the Fall Out Boy so anything by them is a huge hit in her world. She thinks that there is nothing better than a chorus coming together to sing the beautiful song Hallelujah by Handel. She thought that the chorus who sang that song is the way music should be sang, with power, strength and harmony. 

She wants the Wood Hill chorus to learn that singing does not make a song wonderful it's the emotion you put into it. She believes that it takes power, voice, and strength to make a song come to life.
