Division 1 choir has started and there has been a
great turn out of students and lots of enthusiastic participation. We are preparing two songs right now for the
Remembrance Day Assembly on November 10.
In Division 1 we have been reviewing the names of the barred
instruments and the playing technique in music class and accompanying poems and
songs with these instruments. We will be focusing on reading and identifying rhythm patterns in songs, mapping the melody, and then transferring the rhythm and melodic patterns on to an instrument. In
Division 2 the students have been preparing a drumming ensemble to a
performance level. Each drumming
ensemble is 5 – 6 parts that are played at the same time and it requires great
concentration and listening skills to execute a great balance of sound and
precision of the rhythm parts. In
November we will be focusing on composing our own drumming ensembles.
