Music Program
Teacher: Mrs. M. Henshaw
Dear Parents,
As our school year begins, I would like to welcome you and your family into the music community here at our school. The lifelong benefits your child will obtain through music expand beyond the classroom and are transferable to every other academic subject.
Music classes for students in Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6 are on days 2, 4 and 6 of the school cycle. Students will have an opportunity to learn a variety of fun songs, learn basic theory skills and have a chance to learn to play both melodic and non-melodic percussion instruments. Grade 3 and 4 students learn to play the recorder and Grade 5 and 6 students learn to play the guitar.
Private piano, recorder, flute, clarinet and saxophone lessons are available in the afternoon. For more information please feel free to contact me at school or send an email.
In addition to music classes, students
- Prepare for monthly masses
- Grades PK-6 present a major production before Christmas
- Grades 3-6 perform Christmas songs at Kildonan Place Shopping Centre
- Grades PK-6 prepare a joyful Spring Concert with music of their choice
- Grades 3-6 students attend 2 musical field trips to the opera, ballet or a high school production
If you have any questions, suggestions or would like to assist in the program please contact me.
