Notes from the Music Room

 

The March concert is fast approaching.  An email was sent to families with the dates and information pertaining to the concert, which will be held here at the school.  Two nights of beautiful renditions of Latin American songs and Spanish songs performed by the talents and voices of our Dalhousie students.  I for one can’t wait to show you what they have accomplished.  Do send me a note letting me know if your child will not be present at the concert.  For some songs the children are assigned instruments and partners.  For children to find themselves without their partner on the night of the concert is terribly distressing and confusing, which leads to a not so pleasant concert experience.

 

Please go over past blogs to find the videos and lyrics to the songs the children are working on.  Children who have taken the opportunity to work on the songs at home have taken great enjoyment and pride in singing them.
