Music Monday is coming up next week on Monday, May 4th. On that day, at 9:30 am (BC time), there will be a coast-to-coast-to-coast sing–along of Hymn to Freedom (last week’s song). I hope you join in! Music Monday is an event organized by the Coalition of Canada for Music Education. From 6am-6pm on May 4th, there will also be music celebrations streamed on CoalitionCanada’s website, YouTube channel and Facebook page. I’ll send out more information next week.
Don’t forget to head over to the your grade level tab. The story from last week, Oscar Lives Next Door is still there. For primaries, I have also added a practice video for Hymn to Freedom. For intermediates, you have an assignment on Oscar Peterson and Hymn to Freedom due by the end of the week as well.
As a way to unite the country and thank frontline workers, please don’t forget to join in singing O Canada at 12 noon every Sunday. P
You can sing along with the O Canada video or you can sing acapella. Acapella means you are singing without a piano or guitar accompaniment or a track.
Hello everyone!
I miss seeing you and really miss the joy of making music with you. I hope you are keeping healthy and following all the rules about keeping your distance and washing your hands!!
In these very unusual times we cannot make music together, but we can make music ourselves at home and use it to keep our spirits up. I will be posting suggestion for activities here on my blog. For now, the purpose of our music making is to lift our spirits and help us to get through this together.
If you have any questions or would like to share your work with me, please contact me at Faith.Veikle@burnabyschools.ca
Please take good care of yourselves and your loved ones.
Ms. Veikle
