Week of September 30th

Hello everyone. We have had a great week in grades 4,5 and 6.

In grade 4 we had a special guest from grade 11 come in to teach us all about the violin. Victoria showed here violin, answered some questions, and treated us to a special solo performance.

In grade 5 students continued to practice in the band. We have now practiced up to excerise no 7 in class and students should practice up to this excercise at home. A link to the notes again is here:

In grade 6 we have also continued to practice together as the band, up to excercise number 5. Grade 6 studetns have additionally learned about the Rennaisance, Baroque and Classical Eras of Western Classical Music.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Mr. Oliver

Week of March 2nd

Hello everyone, Grade 5 and 6 continued to practice as the band this week. They should continue practicing their instrument over March Break, focusing on excercises 16, 17, and the notes from excercises 19 and 21. If there is time it would be great if students had a chance to watch 'Mary Poppins' in preparation for our work for the Arts Night Performance. Grade 4s continued to practice the ukuele. We can now play the chords C,F,G, Aminor and E minor and were able to play the first verse and chorus of 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'. After March break we will begin our preparations for Arts Night. Have a great March Break everyone! Mr. Oliver
