Amazing Things Happen Here

Welcome back everyone! I hope you are ready for the best year ever!! We are going to have so much fun working hard and learning in music class this year. I have loads of new ideas and excited to bring back some favourites as well. Have a good sleep tonight and we will see you tomorrow morning!

I Love this Country

The Grade 3-5 Choir will be singing this song at the Canada Day Assembly this year. They really wanted this video up so they could practice!

The Lion King

After countless hours of practicing we performed the Lion King to a sold out crowd at the gas station theatre last night. It was breathtakingly beautiful thanks to the efforts of our fabulous art directors. The acting, costumes, make up and singing will be never forgotten and the smiles and impact we made will stay with us forever. Thank You to all the students and staff who participated and made this musical so amazing. Thank You to Mr. Farough and Mr. Swintak for their vision in making this the best it could be! BRAVO Everyone!

Lion King

This is it! The Grade 5-8 students perform The Lion King Jr. this week in 5 shows at the Gas Station Theatre! I am so proud of the work these kids and teachers have put in the last three months. Drama, Choreography, Music, Costumes, Makeup and Sets as well as all the behind the scenes work that has been just as important. Now it is time to relax and perform because we are ready and prepared! Showtimes: Tuesday May 24th - 7:00 Wednesday May 25th - 1:00 and 7:00 Thursday May 26th - 1:00 and 7:00 See you there!

What a Wonderful World

For Earth Day, the Grade 2 students learned how to sing "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. They described what they loved most about the world we live in with such detail so I thought we would create some artwork while listening to the song and our teacher candidate Ms. Blanchette put our artwork in an Animoto for us to enjoy! First video is 2JR and the second is 2J.

I Knew You Were Treble

The Grade 3's and 2/3 classes have been learning music theory for the past couple of weeks to prepare for playing the recorder. We are practicing naming the notes on the treble clef staff and will be trying as many ways as possible to do this. Note Name Battleship, Theory Booklets, Smartboard Games, IPad Games and even relay games outside! This week we found an awesome video that is helping lots of kids learn the note names through a song. Some of them wanted a link to it so here it is!!

Music Monday

On Monday May,9, 2016, we will be celebrating music in our schools by singing "We are one" with thousands of kids across Canada! Our school will be celebrating with an assembly showcasing the many musical activities we have at Linden Meadows. Everyone will be a part of this assembly as everyone in our school takes a music class of some type. Below is the video put out by The Coalition for Music Education with our song for this year written by 16 year old Connor Ross!
