Music is an integral part of our society and culture. By emphasizing the importance of technical knowledge, skills, and composition, students will also gain an appreciation of the value that music plays on individuals and society.



Andrei made me love music!

    Andrei made me love music!

Andrei Panasevich made me love music. I have been playing piano for nine years, but only genuinely enjoyed it for the last five years that I have been taught by Andrei. Oh, it was frustrating at first. He kept challenging me to play pieces ahead of my current RCM level. However, that “push” was just what I needed. When I hit a wrong note, Andrei is able, just by listening, to know where it is and what note it should be. He is always quick to encourage me when I am having trouble. Andrei tells me stories about the music so vivid, that he paints mental pictures of how the songs should make me feel when I play them. Once he told me a two-minute epic tale on why a piece of music should sound like “falling tear drops.” He helps bring my music to life. Andrei began teaching piano almost immediately after immigrating to Canada. His students have grown to love him as their teacher, willingly performing at the many recitals he arranges. His day job is teaching music and other classes to international students. He also plays piano and trumpet for his church. Andrei is an AMAZING teacher!

WELCOME BACK TO MUSIC IN ST.JUDE'S

HELLO STUDENTS AND PARENTS!

We begin our musical season.  We had a great success last year with Gr 7 & 8 Band. This year we have 4 classes for our Band program. We have brand new instruments for the program. Also, a new instrument will be added to the Band: Baritone. It has a very deep and soft sound.
Kids in SK will enjoy singing, listening and dancing in music class.
Gr 1 to Gr 4 will study Theory of music and play Recorders.
Gr 5 to Gr 8 will be a Band program.

We are planning our first performance for the SJA Christmas concert.


Location of the music class is the same. If you have ANY questions or concerns about the music program, please come and talk to me. I will do my best to help.

With Warm Regards,  Mr. ANDREI  PANASEVICH
