End of Year Preparations!

The rest of our term is filled with exciting preparations. First, there is the final recital of the year. Students are busy memorizing their pieces, practising duets, and putting the final touches on their own compositions (this year's composition theme is "Places I've Been"). We will try everything out at an informal performance class before the big day arrives.

*New* Pre Grade One pieces: Part III

I added a few more to my collection of modal pre-grade one pieces inspired by the beauty of B.C. Stroll Through Beacon Hill is an easy going piece that recalls the lovely sights of Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. Listen for the peacock saying hel-lo! Harbour Buzz is inspired by the amazingly talented artists and entertainers at the heart of the city-- the Inner Harbour. Double Decker Bus is a fun piece that keeps moving along, though there are always a few car horns to be heard. Finally, Two Banana Slugs brings back fond memories of hiking through the rainforest and spying these giant gastropods!
