October Update!

Don't forget to order your Parkside Christmas CD! CD's are $10 each, and must be pre-ordered. CD's will be ready in early December. Click here for more information, and to hear audio samples from the CD! 

Throughout the month of September and early October, Grade 6A and 6X worked in groups to create instrumental arrangements. The only stipulations were that they had to use a particular set of pitches for a bass line, they must include that bass line on a xylophone or metallophone, and they must include a drum of some kind, as well as other instruments. The students worked in groups for several class periods, and then we recorded their final products. Click here to hear the compositions!

Christmas CD 2012

Exciting news!! We are recording a Christmas CD this year!

This CD will include performances by all students in grade 4, 5, and 6 classes, as well as the Primary and Elementary Choirs. In addition, several students have been selected to sing solos on the CD.

The CD’s will be sold for $10 each, and must be pre-ordered using the form below. The CD’s will be ready by early December. All proceeds from the CD sales will go towards purchasing new musical instruments, sound equipment, and materials for Parkside’s music program.

We hope you’ll support this project, and enjoy the wonderful music!

Check back later this month as I will be posting some audio samples of songs that will be on the CD!

Students will be coming home with order forms this week.
