GUITAR ENSEMBLE

Grades 3-4

English and French spoken

Learning how to read music and eventually perform with others in a group is vital for a student’s overall music education. The Guitar Ensemble classes will provide students of any age or skill level an opportunity to not only read music in a group, but to also learn practical and fun ways to use the musical tools that a guitar or ukulele player needs to perform all styles of music. Also unique to Guitar Ensemble is being around a number of students each week who are working on the same music material. When students surround themselves with others who are working to become better musicians as well, they’ll find encouragement from each other and maintain a healthy and productive outlook on their musical development. Guitar Ensemble is a wonderful supplement to private lessons and is highly encouraged for all guitar players to learn a variety of musical styles.

Why guitar ensemble? Guitar is a versatile instrument capable of rhythm, harmony, and melody. Combining multiple guitar players into a group, all playing together, is quite an awesome experience. Guitar students very rarely get the ensemble experience that band, and orchestra instruments do in schools. Guitar ensemble is a great way to experience playing guitar whist learning to read music in a group, which actually stimulates faster learning and understanding of the instrument. Basic note reading is essential for all participants. Guitar Ensemble will include training to improve one’s playing/ performance techniques as well as working on material towards performance.

Required skills:

The students are expected to have reasonable mastery of the following techniques:

• Knowledge about guitar techniques

• Recognition of the notes on the instrument

• Ability to read off sheet music

GERMAN FOR BEGINNERS

Grades 1-5

German and English spoken

Entry test on 25th August

The ‘Beginner’ course focuses on the fundamental and basic skills of German language. In this course topics such as capitalization of nouns, getting to know der, die, das and differentiate nouns, verbs and adjectives from each other are the main focus. Furthermore, students in this course also learn about punctuation, (when to use question marks and when to use an exclamation mark) and about basic German sentence structures.

The beginner course is made for students who have little experience with German language. I teach this course with much enthusiasm to get the students motivated and willing to learn German. The resources I use for this course are online resources and learning in books. Online learning games and online resources motivate children because electronics are involved, furthermore online resources are a good way to learn because of the many engaging material provided. Nevertheless, it is important to learn from books and to hand write. When handwriting from books to paper or working in a workbook information gets processed faster in the brain.
