Music students form
small local orchestra

TERRACE — Yamaha
Music School recently
marked the beginning of
the summier break with a
series of year-end con-
certs held at the school
facility.

by Joan Spencer
Terrace Contributor

The concerts featured
both solo and ensemble
performances, with some
of the more advanced
students forming a small
orchestra; a ‘‘first’’ for
the school. Many
original compositions
were played by the young
composers, some as

young as five years of
age. a

Begun five years ago,
the school has grown to
an enrolment of almost
200 students, with six
teachers. Courses cover
preschool keyboard,
piano, guitar and band
instruments. In the fall,
theory classes will be
added to the curriculum.

What has made the
school such a success?
“The dedication of our
teachers,”’ states Joan
Spencer, school ad-
ministrator. ‘‘We have
been careful to choose
not only qualified musi-
cians, but teachers who

care about the enjoy-
ment of music and the
logical presentation of
the lesson material.’’

Classes begin again on
Sept. 8. Parents wishing
to register their children
should do so early, as
space will be limited.

the Yamaha Music
School courses is

Sound in the Skeena
Mall.

Support
appreciated

To the editor,

The Terrace Unit of
the Cancer Society
would like to thank the
residents of Terrace for
their generous contribu-
tions to the April Cancer
Campaign.

We surpassed our goal
of $8,000 and raised
nearly $9,900 toward
cancer research, educa-
tion and service to pa-
tients.

A special thanks to the
volunteer canvassers and
area captains. Without
their interest and con-
tinuing support, we
could not have attained
our goal.

Sincerely,
