May 11. It was lovely to see many of you for a music class in Zoom. Those classes will happen every week at the same time. For this weeks class, I would like us to learn a new song called Don’t Touch Your Head. It is fun to sing and it helps us to remember what we need to do to stay healthy. Please use the link below watch the video a few times to learn the song.
Here are the words. don’t touch your head – lyrics

Music Monday is coming up on May 4. The song this year is Hymn to Freedom by Oscar Peterson. Many of you know this song. We learned it a couple of years ago for Remembrance Day and it was the massed number at the Intermediate Choir Festival last year. On May 4th young people all across Canada will join in the singing of Hymn to Freedom. I hope Buckingham students will join in.
Here is a link with lyrics to practice Hymn to Freedom.
Oscar Peterson wrote the music. He is a well-known Canadian jazz pianist and composer from Montreal. Oscar Lives Next Door is a story inspired by Oscar Peterson’s life.
