Over the summer, Adam Mitchell, a music teacher at Cash Elementary School, decided that maybe his choir of fourth- and fifth-graders should take a break for the coming school year, considering the risks involved with teaching choir in person and the difficulty of teaching it online.
He didn t just change his mind. He came up with a project so grand and complex that it s taken nearly four months to complete.
Billed as the Kernersville Virtual Choir Project, it involves six choirs, including five in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district and the voices of 170 different people, ranging in age from from 9 to 80 singing Mitchell s original song, We Rise.
