Rockheights Music News
Happy new year, everyone!
Welcome back to school, everyone! Band, strings and choir classes will be back on Monday, January 10th. We will spend the first class back going over some new safety protocols and expectations so that we can continue making music safely. These are outlined in the letter below, which will be sent home via email and paper letters.
Update on Music Discoveries
Music Discoveries, a camp for middle-schoolers run by UVIC Music Education students, has been cancelled for this year due to the pandemic. Parents of registered students will be contacted regarding refunds.
Letters and Forms
Here you'll find a copy of any letter that has gone home to families. Students receive paper copies in class, as well. Please make sure your email addresses are also up-to-date with the main office.
Risa McDonell, Music Teacher
I'm proud to be the Music Teacher at Rockheights Middle School. For 15 years, I taught band, jazz band and choir in North Vancouver secondary schools and played flute for the West Coast Symphony Orchestra. During my time in North Vancouver, I was very lucky to conduct three major musical theatre productions, to start a Canadian-Japanese sister school exchange program, and to take my bands to New York, Chicago, San Diego, Tokyo, Musicfest Canada Nationals, and The Canadian Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff. Two years ago, I moved home to Victoria to raise my daughter near my family. It's been a blast to make musical memories at Rockheights, and I'm looking forward to more!
