Ms. Simmons will be teaching a music history lesson today, then you'll continue work on your Listening Log #4 due tomorrow, no questions asked.

Continuing Assignments:

Overdue (LATE) Assignments:
- Historical Compositions
- 4 part progressions with melodies
- Reading Response #1-4
- Listening Portfolio #1-3

Bonus Assignment: "O Canada" - THE REMIX

As you know, we have a variety of versions of "O Canada" on our morning announcements. So, why not create our own?

Ms. Simmons has placed a basic version the melody to "O Canada" in the share folder. The access path is:

1013 (on desktop) --> 1013 Stu --> SIMMONS AMM --> "O Canada"

Use this as your base file, and go from there. Of course, the original melody must be audible the whole way though, but other than that, be creative! You can play with the genre, etc, as you wish!

Due, whenever, for 10 BONUS MARKS or 1 BONUS PERCENT.

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all well and using your class time productively. I'm resting and recovering after I had a little run-in with a truck on Tuesday and I won't be back until Monday at the earliest.

I hope you're working on the following things:

First Year Students
- adding a melody to your 4-part progressions ready to play by Monday
- writing out your melodies and progressions to hand-in
- continuing keyboard and theory reviews

Second Year Students
- rehearse for your recording projects
- the microphone we were using has been taken back to the library (for the Open Mic there on Friday) - if you need it ask Ms. Veltman or Matt Sirna to grab it for you

Reminders:
- Reading Response #3 (Medieval and Renaissance) due today
- Composition: Polyphonic counter-melody due tomorrow, Homophonic choirds due Friday
** we'll share our final versions of ball three on Friday!
