Remembrance Day and Thank You!

A big thank you to all parents and students who took the time to come and visit me in the music room during our Student Led Conferences!  It was wonderful to meet new parents and to catch up with others.

After the fall break, we have had a new instrument join our classroom.  Thanks to you and Parent Council, we have a new electric piano!  It is so important for students to learn to sing in tune and a piano can be an effective tool for this but only if it is in tune.  If it is out of tune, students will learn to sing out of tune.  Not anymore!  Our Yamaha Clavinova model CLP480 will never require tuning.  It also has powerful built in speakers which will come in handy for assemblies and concerts.  I have even been using the spooky organ sounds for Halloween.

Please join us on Friday, November 7th at 10:45am for our Remembrance Day assembly.  Mrs. Fraser's Grade 6 class has been working especially hard on two beautiful choir pieces which even have four special soloists.  It will also be a great opportunity to hear our new piano.
