Working...
THIS is Music Survey I and II, the newest music class offerings at HHS. In Survey I we will be taking a bobsled through Music History, playing an instrument and/or singing, learning about electronic and web-based apps, writing our own compositions, and finishing off with a project designed by YOU. Music Survey II will have units on World Music, history of Pop Music, more Pop Music based forms, playing an instrument and/or singing, and also an individualized project. These one-semester courses will be taught by all HHS Music Department Faculty, and will be meeting 5th period this year. You may take them one at a time, and in any order you wish.
And now for a few extra cool links, before the the fun begins:
