New Music

Here's a few new links for the New Year.

Grade 8:
Cartoon Symphony arr. by Larry Clark




Chorale from Jupiter by Gustav Holst arr. by Curnow
(this link is not the arrangment we're studying, but it is an excellent recording)


Jazz Band:
C Jam Blues

This is a highschool group, and there are some smokin' soloists featured.


This is one of my favourite versions. It features Ella Fitzgerald. She does some amazing things with her voice. What an instrument.


Grade 7
Magma by Larry Clark
This version is performed by an orchestra of grade 3-6 students. I think it's great.


This is the version we are playing. This is a really good band.



Hope these are useful.

Happy New Year

Welcome back everyone! Hope you had a great holiday!

Check out this great guitar player.
