Welcome back to Horizon! I hope that you had a lovely summer
and are ready for the new school year. My name is Ms. Shay and I am very
excited to continue as your music teacher this year. I am originally from
Arizona in the United States, and I received my education from Western Michigan
University. This is my sixth year teaching, and my third year here at Horizon.
I look forward to getting to know your children better as we begin the school
year together.
This term in Grade 9 we will be continuing to work on our
guitar skills and will learn many new chords as well as new melodies via
finger-style playing. We will also look
at an overview of music history from ancient times to the 19th
century in order to inquire into how and why music developed, and how that
affects us today.
One quick note about guitars: This year, we are requiring
students to purchase their own guitars, as students need to be able to practice
regularly (at home) to improve their playing ability. If you need any advice or
help with choosing the right instrument, more information is provided in the
supply list. Also, if you have any
questions, feel free to email me at svanmeter@horizon.ac.jp.
I’m looking forward to a great year!
Musically yours,
Ms. Shay
