Hello Grade 10 music students, Parents and Guardians.
Gr 10 music is a continuation of Gr 9, but harder and requiring more self-discipline. There will be some changes to the standard structure of the course this year as there are 2 gr 10 periods running this semester and not enough instruments for 2 classes. As a group we will do our best and be as considerate of each other as possible making the best of this situation. Please check this site regularly, weekly at least as I will be posting notes, interesting videos, and recordings of students work. Feel free to comment and add your own ideas. I am looking forward to meeting you all for an excellent semester. I hope that we will have an opportunity to share our talents at 2 possible performances (Fine Arts night in May and a concert in June).
Cheers
Ms. Hsu

December Update
Hello,
Here's an update, we are finishing up our blues unit, with our own composition and a performance. We are also doing a group performance of Jingle Bells. The advance guitarists will be doing their own lessons next week. Today we had great guest speaker, Luke Bailey, a professional musician, courtesy of Tony's Music Box. He got a great session on guitars and music theory.
Cheers

Guitar Update
Hello,
Grade 10's have been doing great with guitar, we have learned how to play 5 chords, pick out Jingle Bells and play Horse with no Name. We even recorded it. Next week students will be playing in small groups and working on their own blues song.
Have a great day.
Cheers

New Unit
Hello,
Gr 10's have finally completed their keyboard and music history unit. We are moving onto guitar and blues now until December. I hope to have a class concert in January, but it is dependent on the students. Students are encouraged to bring their own guitar label with their name and a case. I do not provide picks or strings. I am really looking forward to hearing all the guitar talent in the class.
Cheers
