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
Ms. Hsu

Phew!

What a busy week we are having in Grade 10 music! We have finally finished our Gr 9 review and are finishing up our first composition. I am looking forward to our first mini concert after March break. I hope to be able to post listening samples of our performances of compositions, so check back soon. As well we will be having a music theory test on Gr 9 review. As well there will be a listening test to make sure people are focused on musical characteristics and not treating music like background sound. After March Break I hope that we will be done our first individual keyboard peice and will move on to our first group peice. Following that students will be able to select their own pieces for the keyboard and we should be able to have another concert.
Have a great week and study hard.
Cheers Ms. Hsu

Welcome to Music 10

Hello Semester 2 Grade 10 music,
Welcome to Music. I hope you have had a good start to the semester. We will be working on a review unit first and keyboard to get our musical bearings.

Cheers
Ms. Hsu

The end of the semester!

It has been a long time since I updated due to snow days, holidays and working very hard on our exit project. Students did a fantastic job on the end of semester concert and I am very proud of the performances. Every student contributed to the show and it was well recieved. Final marks will be distributed with report cards, but if a student would like a video copy of their performance please contact Ms. Hsu and make arrangements. I cannot post them online because of the length, privacy concerns and school policy. Thanks for being a good class. Good luck on exams.
Cheers
Ms. Hsu
