Welcome!
It's great to have you as a member
of Woburn Music (a.k.a. WM), one of WCI's most exciting departments. We
hope that you enjoy your Music courses and also participate in the many
extracurricular activities that we have to offer, such as socials/dances,
ensembles,
trips,
and student government.
On this page, we aim to show you "the ropes" - that is, how to participate.
Your ensemble
Regardless of the course you are
in, you will be a member of at least one ensemble. Grade 9 instrumentalists
are part of a band, while Grade 9 vocalists are part of the Concert
Choir. Both of these ensembles have rehearsals outside class time, and
everyone is expected to attend these rehearsals. This is a requirement
of the course. You will find that since
you will be spending a lot of time with the members of your section and
your ensemble, you will probably grow to enjoy the time you spend "working".
Thousands of satisfied graduates can't be wrong!
Your teachers
WM is very fortunate to have dedicated,
passionate, and enthusiastic teachers who spend an enormous amount of time
working to support and improve your experience with WM. Get to know your
teacher and become comfortable asking them for help. They will know how
to assist. If you have any questions (or even problems) with any aspect
of your time here, don't hesistate to ask.
Your Council
WM has a student government (think
SAC) called the Music Council
that assists in the running of the department and often gets a say in how
things are organized. Some members receive training in musical leadership.
Everyone is welcome to run for a position on Council and share their opinions.
You can also speak to Executive members of Council (senior leaders) who
can assist you with many matters.
Your "culture"
You have become a member of a group
with many traditions and rituals! You will gradually learn what these are...
take the time to learn.
and not least...
Your web site
This site has been created to strengthen
the ties between members of Woburn Music beyond the classroom. You can
discuss
and chat; read news about
WM; view photos from recent
events; and learn
about most aspects of our day-to-day life.
We are very happy that you're here.
We'll be even more pleased if we can make your time here quite pleasant.
