'•■■■H.'H.'H w; AIoh.k Guitar anyone? Guitar classes led by Ms. Susan Slosky were available for students of every degree of ability. Playing the guitar as a recreational instrument and playing to obtain a better understanding of music were both stressed. Techniques, such as playing by note, chord, or pattern, were emphasized in class. Level I included playing the recorder for the first quarter. An audition was required to get into the Guitar Ensemble. This was the first year this group performed, and they did so in conjunction with the In- termediate Swing Singers. The Guitar Ensemble performed at several area elementary schools as well as in the winter and spring concerts in January and May. Music ranged from classical, to popular, to folk, to jazz. A highlight of the year was having the Madison Guitar Trio perform for the classes and give a workshop. Under the direction of Mrs. Slosky, the Guitar Ensemble performs Christmas Medley of the Bells.” During his third period class, Alex Brown gets into his music while playing “Come Sail Away. Learning how to play “Cool Change,” David Hall strums along with the rest of the class. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ Music. Drama, and Art 299
