Happy New Year!

Welcome Back everyone! I hope you had a great holiday with your friends and families. We are off to a great start here in the music room! The choir is excited about preparing for the Winnipeg Music Festival. The choir was told today that this is the first year of many that there will be no Pembina Trails Sings. This was a festival within our own school division prior to the city wide festival. The reason is, is that our division is going to be taking a 200 voice choir to sing with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra on March 22 at 1:00. I will be putting together a choir just for this event. The thing is I am only allowed to bring 18 students and they must be in Grade 5 or 6. There is a sign up sheet on my door for those students who are interested. If there are more than 18 students signed up then I will do auditions. This will take place on Tuesday January 11th. I am looking forward to working with some of the 6's that I have missed so much this year!

Grade 3-5 Choir

Thank you so much to those that have signed up for choir this year. I still would love even more students. The more the merrier!! We are going to have so much fun singing and performing this year. It is a great opportunity to meet students in other grades and classes and become a better musician at the same time. The first rehearsal will be Wednesday October 6th Day 4 and will continue every Day 4 after that. We will be performing at the Remembrance Day Assembly on November 10th so let your parents know.

Welcome Bach!

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to school! I am very excited for another great year in the music room. It will be so great to see everyone and hear about your adventures over the summer. Remember that there will be a sign up for Grade 3-5 Choir around the 2nd week of school as well as a letter going home with Grade 4 students letting you know about Recorders! Yay! The title of this blog post is Welcome Bach (did you notice?). Did you know that the famous composer Johann Sebastion Bach had 20 children! When did he have time to compose all that amazing music!!

"Sing, Sing"

Thank you to everyone who made Music Monday a success. We had a blast performing "Sing Sing" as well as Viva La Vida, I Gotta Feelin' and the School Song! The weather made us come inside but the sound we got from our whole school singing was unbelievable in the gym. It was great to see so many parents out to see us celebrate Music in our schools! Be sure to check out the division website for a picture collage of our event. There is a bunch of different schools featured on the main page so when it gets to ours just hit the stop button so you can look at it. Maybe you will see yourself! http://www.pembinatrails.ca/
