Mood Music Compositions.

First concert

Friday, grade 10's will be performing their first composition to a live audience. Each will be sharing a short performance for a small group and be evaluated on their composition by their peers. I hope to be able to put up some short samples online. Check back next week. As well we have started our Music History unit and finished up our first keyboard test. Have a great week and practice hard.
Cheers
