Composition Checklists

Composition Checklists

Here are the checklists to make sure that you have everything that is needed to complete your composition. Remember that a photocopy of the composition is the last week in February (next week) and it needs to be done neat enough for a stranger to be able to play it.

Small things to remember:
- Treble Clef & Bass Clef signs at the first bar of each line
- Time Signature on the first line of each page
- Bar lines join the Treble & Bass Clefs together
- A Brace joins the Treble & Bass Clef together at the beginning of EACH line
- Key Signature is in between the clef and time signature
- Key Signature is at the beginning of EVERY line
- Make sure to have double bar lines for the end of the song
- If using a great big whole note on the bass clef, make sure that it lines up with the FIRST note on the treble clef

February 2 - Happy Groundhog's Day!!!

Did Wiarton Willie see his shadow today??? NO!!!

What does this mean for us . . . an early spring!!!

Hmmm . . . did Willie happen to see the snow outside??? The kids sure are enjoying finally having enough snow to build forts, etc in - just too bad it's not wet enough for snowmen!!!

Just in case you're wondering - we WILL be having classes today - it's just nice that the snowplows have been out and the roads are looking clear, while the fronts of lawns are starting to have little hills on them!
