Developing Sound in Grades 5 & 6
Earlier this month, the Music Department ran a Clinician Day for Grade 5 & 6 students. The students worked alongside professionals on instrument-specific techniques based on solid fundamentals like posture and sound production.
“This is a good way to offer individualized instruction and hone instrument-specific skill levels,” said Mr. Shields, Head of Music. “It was a very successful day and something we look forward to continuing in the future.”
Our Clinicians included some of our private music teachers, instructors from our camp, and colleagues in the CDS Music Department. Students are brand new on these instruments in Grade 5 and sometimes Grade 6, and this presents an opportunity for a solid foundation on which to build from.
We look forward to showcasing their musical talents at the upcoming Junior School and Middle & Senior Schools’ Music Concerts!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
