Mindset in the Music Classroom

This year our staff at Linden Meadows will be learning more about Mindset in the classroom. We believe that a growth mindset will lead to a desire to learn and work hard to achieve your goals. I am very much in agreement with this learning strategy and believe that having a positive attitude towards learning music goes a long way in our classroom. Music is not always an easy thing but everyone can sing and dance and everyone can learn to play an instrument. Practice will always be the key to our success in the music classroom. So when we start practicing for our holiday concert and begin our journey learning to play the recorder remember these words and don't give up!

Grade 3-5 Choir

The Grade 3-5 choir is busy getting ready to perform for the Remembrance Day Assembly in November. they are singing one of my favourite songs "Song of Peace" which is a partner song with Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant us Peace). The video below is for practicing at home as the voice on the recording is in a good range for us to practice at home.
