We Wish You A Merry Christmas- We had a test on the 'good tidings' part

-Altos and sopranos just ascend on your "give us pudding"

-Worked on timing and pitches and ran through the whole thing

Ding-a Ding-a Ding- Pages 2-9 measures 1-42

-Ran over what we learned yesterday and started from beginning 

-Measure 21 is where it gets tricky

-In measure 21 we went over each voice parts pitches and gradually brought each one in
