By next week, all IRC students will have played small percussion instruments, drums, Ukuleles, Guitars (grades 3-6), glockenspiels, metallophones, xylophones, basses, keyboards….oh and we sing. We are lucky!!!

I only had to learn 49 new names (JKs) this year – maybe my easiest September yet (I’ve taught in four different provinces. Lots of kids!!). IRC is definitely one of my favourite schools ever – amazing students, community, and staff!

Here are the Grade 2/3s on a very hot day listening to Yo yo Ma play Bach and some juniors showing their genuine excitement about clapping sixteenth notes in rhythms cards.
