Improvisation

The year 7's and year 8's are learning to improvise. Have a listen to what they worked on today.Unlike last week they could choose from two rhythm patterns but the melody is up to them as long as they use C pentatonic so their melodies sound nice together.

Library Performance for Music Week

The choir were lucky enough to be invited to sing at the Panmure Library to help them celebrate New Zealand Music Month. The choir sang the 2013 Music Month song "Paradise" by Waimarie Smith and "Something Good" by Bic Runga. Jorja was our soloist again for this song and partnered up with Riley (her first solo number). All the choir did an amazing job and I'm very proud of them. Thanks Zane my Music Man. Thanks to Mrs Burke, Miss Gina and Miss Caroline who helped to get the choir down to the library.
