Music Room Update

Hello everyone! Great music making is happening at Kelsey Community School! The choirs are hard at work on their Remembrance Day pieces, as well as getting a head start on their Christmas concert songs.  The fiddling groups have had a good three weeks of classes.  Beginning fiddling group is a little large, but they have been extremely well behaved and are an absolute pleasure to be coaching right now! The advanced group are on the verge of heading into newer repertoire. 
Just a reminder that there will be no afterschool activities this week due to the SAGE (Special Area Groups for Educators, formerly SAG) conferences.  Grade five drumming classes will begin very soon!
Looking forward to getting into the spirit of Hallowe'en as we edge closer to the end of October!
Let the great music making continue!

Fiddling Classes

Fiddling classes...

Registration forms for fiddling class will go out on Monday.  They are due back by Friday, September 23, 2011.  Late registration will not be accepted.  As only 15 participants are allowed per class, I cannot guarantee that every student who registers will be able to participate.  Beginner class will be on Wednesdays at 4:00-4:45p.m. beginning September 28.  The more advanced class will be on Thursdays at 4:00-4:45p.m. beginning September 29.
