Grade 6H Music Exploratory ( All Students)

Posted: April 6, 2020

General Message for All Students:- Hi everyone. I hope you and your family are doing well during this time. I miss you terribly and look forward to returning to school to make music with everyone. I know I don't have to tell you this, but music is the absolute best thing ever! (although chocolate milk is a close second!). I am hoping everyone is listening-singing- or watching music videos during this time. I am working out of my basement with just a laptop at my disposal. I have my guitar but no piano. Really missing my piano. If any Grade 7s or 8s have a guitar at home and have questions-just pop me an email and I will help you. Try your hand at writing song lyrics. I can definitely help with that. We can put your lyrics to music on the guitar. 

Grades k-5 - I will be posting music videos from time to time for your interest. Stay "Tuned"! Hopefully you are listening and/or singing and dancing and shaking your butt to music every day!! I know some of the grade 5 students have a recorder at home. That is great but please remember-you only have to blow with enough force to move a tissue. Anything more produces a harsh, shrill sound that can harm your parent's ears! 

Grade 6H- In your free time maybe you could look up our favorite artists on youtube demonstrating the instruments we have studied to date. (Remember Kenny G? or those two cutie pies playing the viola and violin duet?) The final instrument group we will look at is the Percussion family-which will also include the keyboard instruments. This will not be mandatory work. I will go over all of this again next year. Just something to do in your free time. Your parent(s) can pop me an email if you have questions. By the way, hold on to those new duo-tangs that I was harping about! You will need them for next year-I promise!!  

Take care everyone. We will be in contact very soon.
