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
