Living Room Sessions-our online performances :)

CBC music challenge-our video made the Top 10 list :)

Drop The Needle: BASS - Listening Test - learn these 9 jazz/funk bass player names and get ready for a "drop the needle" test on any of the tracks. Please listen with good speakers/headphones. These are the bass players: RAY BROWN, PAUL CHAMBERS, RON CARTER, JACO PASTORIUS, ESPERANZA SPALDING, JODI PROZNICK, JAMES JAMERSON, BOOTSY COLLINS, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE

For the test, you will only be able to hear audio (no video will be shown). You only have to name the bass player (you do not have to name the song or other musicians on the tracks). I might start the song in the middle, or towards the end, or at the beginning. Listen closely and find things that make each song distinctive. For example, what instruments do you hear playing overall? What is the tempo? What is the style? All of these sorts of things will help make this easier to do.

Whister Repertoire April 2019

Please note: this is a judged festival we are participating in. All musicians are responsible for practising outside of class (choir should memorize all music) and attending all rehearsals. If rehearsals are missed musicians will be asked to email an audio recording of their performance in order to be able to play/sing with the ensemble in Whistler. The conductors reserve the right to ask a musician to sit out of performing if they have not prepared themselves for the festival while they are in Whistler. This is all about the team effort! Let's sound strong!
