    MICROSOFT TEAM SET UP FOR SUBMITTING LARGE MUSIC FILES

    June 3, 2020 /

    Many people have had large files such as videos to submit as part of their music assignments and have had trouble finding ways to get them submitted. I have set up a Microsoft Team that people can use to upload such files. If you ever need to submit a file that’s too large to send as an email, type your email address in the comments field or email me at adrian.clift@burnabyschools.ca requesting to be added to the Music Team, then I’ll add you to the Team as a member with instructions over how to upload your files.

    May 26th – 5th round of activities (BAND)

    May 26, 2020 /
    1. Complete any outstanding assignments in SmartMusic (deadline June 1st).
    2. Create a medley out of your favourite bits of music that you’ve learned on your instrument this year. You might want to consider using a program like iMovie or an audio editing tool to piece together lots of recordings of you playing, though one recording of you playing each piece one after another is fine as long as the transitions between each piece aren’t too long.
    3. Create a duet by recording yourself playing one part then record yourself playing along to that part in harmony. You can pick one of the duet pieces in Essential Elements or compose your own accompanying line to work in harmony with a single-line piece in Essential Elements.
    4. Pick a favourite character from a film/TV show or book. Compose a theme tune for that character using your instrument. It should be a tune that represents the personality and story of the character. Submit a write-up of the character and how your composition represents the character, with a notation or recording of your composition if possible.
    5. Complete any previously posted activities that you have not yet done.
