Music Options for Fall 2013!
The time has come to start thinking about choices for Fall 2013! If you're interested in classes that are FUN, INTERACTIVE, CREATIVE and combine CRITICAL THINKING, TEAMWORK and INDIVIDUAL TECHNIQUE, then Music at Leaside is for you!
Here are some of our offerings:
Grade 9, 10, 11, 12 - BAND - AMI
Offered at the junior and senior level, for any students with any band experience. Focused on developing instrumental music techniques, as well as responding, reflecting and analysing using music from a variety of periods and culture. Foundations of theory and ear training will be taught, along with frequent explorations in creating our own music. Students will work as a whole band in class, on solo performance skills, and in small instrumental ensembles.
Grade 10, 11, 12 - GUITAR - AMG
Offered at the junior and senior level, no experience on guitar is necessary. Focused on developing classical guitar techniques, as well as responding, reflecting and analysing using music from a variety of periods and culture. Foundations of theory and ear training will be taught, along with frequent explorations in creating our own music. In-class performances alone as well as in small groups are part of the credit for guitar.
Grade 11, 12 - MUSIC AND COMPUTERS - AMM
This is a senior level course, focused on developing compositional skills using music technology, as well as responding, reflecting and analysing using music from a variety of periods and culture. Foundations of theory and ear training will be taught, but the bulk of the class work is computer-based explorations of variety of technological support for music creation such as Garage Band, Logic, Finale and Band-in-a-Box.

Italian Terms - Internet Exploration
You will be divided in to groups. In your groups, you are going to look up words and definitions for the following. Use the worksheet you will be given in class.
Group 1. Five different musical terms/symbols used to describe volume in music.
Group 2. Five different musical terms used to describe fast music.
Group 3. Five different musical terms used to describe slow music.
Group 4. Five different musical terms used to describe changes in speed in music.
Group 5. Five different musical terms/symboles used to describe articulation.
Make sure that everyone in your group writes down all your terms and definitions.
Once all the groups have completed their lists, you will re-group yourselves in new groups with ONE person from EACH group and share your findings with each other.
By the end of the class you should have a list of twenty-five musical terms and symbols!
Start by consulting the following websites:
Glossary of Italian Terms from SFCV
Music Theory. ORG Glossary
ThinkQuest Music Dictionary
ALL THESE TERMS ARE FAIR GAME FOR FUTURE QUIZZES ;)
