Hello Chaffey Band students —

I emailed you a “welcome back” letter on Sunday — and I have been working hard to find tools for us to use during Term 3 Band.  There are lots of unknowns — but we can do this together.  🙂

Please fill out this quick TERM 3 BAND SURVEY here — as soon as possible! 

I’ve asked the school district technology team to create a Band TEAM for us — I haven’t heard back yet (… because they are super-busy trying to get the whole district set up on technology right now!) — so in the meantime, please check back remember to check this blog regularly for any updates.

I’ll be in contact again very soon — keep working on all of your scales and pieces.  Definitely focus on Ayre & Dance, and Presto!

I will be linking some audio files so that you can listen for how your part fits into the piece — you may even want to try playing along with the recording!

Do continue to fill out your practice records — I will figure out the best way to collect them very soon.

I know there will be some glitches and challenges as we get rolling again, but I’m looking forward to testing out the technology options with you all — and seeing what we can learn and accomplish.

Thanks everyone!

Ms. Lee 🙂

Notes – April 2020

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
