Congratulations LM!!

Wow!! What a concert LM!! You worked hard and learned your song, dance moves, lyrics, and lines. Some of the songs were really difficult and you rose to the challenge to learn them and not one person gave up! What an amazing group of students we have here. You should all be very proud and have made some pretty awesome memories along the way! I would like to personally wish you all a very happy holiday. Rest up and be safe!!

Videos for Practice!!

You Tube is the best!! The kids have always wanted the music to practice at home but it was impossible to make a copy for everyone. Now with You tube everyone is able to do that as long as there is a video for it. In most cases now, there is!! So Grade 3-5, here they are!!!

Heal the World

I wanted to show the choir students this week how amazing I think they are. I showed them a video of children performing "Heal the World" written by Michael Jackson. The children in the video are all musicians and I wanted the choir to know they are too. They all work so hard to become the best singers they can be and many can play other instruments as well as they saw featured in the video. Combined with the beautiful message, the students absolutely loved it and asked that I put it up here on the blog so they can show their parents. They also wanted it so they can watch it over and over again because many of them were very inspired!!

Peter and the Wolf

The Grade 3 and 2-3 classes are learning about "Peter and the Wolf" in music class. It is a wonderful Russian story set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev. I have been patiently waiting a few years for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra to perform this music and I was pleasantly surprised that it is going to happen on November 27th in the evening! If you are interested in taking your child, I have attached the link below for the WSO for more information. They would love it! https://wso.ca/peterandthewolf/

Song of Peace

The Grade 3-5 Choir is preparing to sing at the Remembrance Day Assembly next month. They will be singing "A Song of Peace" by Teresa Jennings. Attached is a video for the students to sing along to so they can practice. There will be solo auditions for the first part and last line of the song coming up in the next week. The students absolutely love this song and it really shows when they sing it. Their faces light up, their posture changes and their voices soar. I hope you can join us at the assembly in November. The date will be posted soon. Enjoy!

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!
