I just want to say ‘hello’ to our entire Chaffey-Burke Community.

I know everything is very different right now – and I hope you and your family are all staying safe and healthy.  I miss seeing all of you and making music together.

I have lots of ideas about Music and Band resources, lessons and learning together – even when we are apart.  I will contact students and families with more information once I have a few more details from the district, Mr. Cornell and Ms. Clark.

There are already some very cool links and apps to check out, and I will be posting more content soon – so please check back regularly!  🙂 

If you have questions about Music or Band learning in the next few days, please email me at Carrie.Lee@burnabyschools.ca

I encourage you to have a musical experience over the next few days — sing or play or dance to a favourite song, or tap out a few rhythms — making music always makes me feel better!

Thanks everyone!

Ms. Lee

When practicing, please check:

• Are you sitting tall with great posture?

• Is your instrument in the right position? 

• Is the instrument adjusted to you or are you adjusted to the instrument?

• Are your feet in the right place?

• Are your cheeks flat or puffy?

• Are your shoulders relaxed?  Neck?  Body?

• Can you see the whole page of your music?  (… without dropping your chin?)
