Welcome to
the homepage of this site...
......which is designed
primarily as a resource for music teachers and music students
in The Bahamas. However there is much useful material here
which will
be of interest
to music lovers worldwide.
Click on ABRSM
to find information on the examinations offered in The Bahamas by
the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. You will
also
be able to find sample papers for the theory exams as well as pieces
and scales for the practical exams. Theory workbooks and some
practical albums can be obtained locally at the Good News Bookstore
in the Town Centre Mall in Nassau. All other materials can
be obtained online from musicroom.com - see the banner and
link on the left
You can now access information
on the BGCSE
music examination, including notes on the Set Works, quizes and past
papers. At a later date help with the practical element of the exam
will be on this site. A CD Rom for the 2006 syllabus is also available
for purchase by teachers. This comes with a good quality CD audio
of the set works. Contact
me if you need more information.
The listening page will soon
be ready to sample. I am currently expanding this project to
include all the Periods of music history. The
entire package
will then be available for purchase on a CD Rom. The idea is to provide
listening experiences for students and so give them the opportunity
to hear and follow the score of a variety of musical examples. They
will also be able to take an interactive quiz after each listening
experience.
The
band page will be designed to assist instrumental teachers
in their quest for the ultimate
band sound.
It will also contain a section for students entitled "Practice
Makes Perfect' offering tips on the monster that most kids try to
avoid. This section will also include samples of my band and ensemble
arrangements which will then be available for sale in the products
section.
All
teachers complain about a lack of resources. In the resource
pages you will soon find an extensive list of resources which
will help make your life easier. It will include a listing of
reputable music shops, which are willing to ship to international destinations.
