Winter Term at Tatamagouche Elementary Music

What an amazing Christmas show!  Thanks to the professional  approach and super enthusiasm of the students, the generous support of the audience and to Sharon United Church for the Facilities.

New in the music room!! Replacing the much-loved but overworked 15 year old keyboard are two new ultra high tech digital keyboards. The Yamaha DGX-640 and the workstation arranger PSR-S910


Both will enhance our music making and music education for a long time to come. Judging by the number of lunch hour pianists...both will be put to good use. Now, finding the time to learn what all those buttons are for.......

Upper elementary return from their concert repertoire hiatus to musical literacy through ukulele and I'm thrilled with the progress in sight reading and playing. We're following virtuoso James Hill http://www.ukulelejames.com/ method book:
James Visited our school last year and gave both classes and a concert....ukulele hasn't been the same since.
