Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra in the Classroom

JUST A REMINDER THAT PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES ARE TOMORROW EVENING, AND FRIDAY MORNING.  If you have not already done so, please make sure you sign up for a time to discuss your child's learning.

As a follow-up to our field trip to see the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra's production of Beatrix Potters "Peter Rabbit and Friends", we had a musician come into the school today and teach us about his instrument.

Christ brought with him his bassoon, as well as a flute and clarinet.  He showed the students how the bassoon works, and how he makes his reed (the bassoon's mouthpiece).  He played several pieces for us too, and sang some songs with the students.
