Welcome!
Welcome to the Instrumental Music Blog for CMES. I have created this blog as space for parents and students to be aware of what's happening with the program and to have a calendar with band class dates posted (so we know when to bring instruments to school) and Concert Band rehearsals (once extra-curricular practices start up).
Practicing at home is the key to your child's success in music. The only way to improve is to practice the skills taught in class. It is my expectation that the students sign an instrument out for practice at least once a week . Instruments are available to sign out on days 1, 2 and 3 of the day cycle (which are the days that I am at the school). Each class has a day cycle day where they get priority over the instruments, however there are usually enough instruments left over that anyone can come at the end of the day and sign one out. I have included a link on the right hand side of this blog that has the upper grand day cycle calendar for the 2015-2016 school year for your information.
Mrs. Horan's class -Day 1
Mrs. Neal/Bonter/Langman's class -Day 2
Mr. Van Maren's class -Day 3
Concert Band will be starting up November 20th and occur each week on Day 2 of the day cycle calendar at lunch. It is an optional ensemble for students who are keen and interested in playing more and having more opportunities to perform.
We have had a great start to the year and I look forward to seeing how the students progress as the year goes on. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact me at the school at extension 415 or email me at melanie.neal@ugdsb.on.ca.
Thank you
Melanie Neal
