Taking a music class is not only a fun way to earn a credit, but a great way to meet others with similar interests. Connect to the school community with our special events, experience the exhilaration of performing at our Winter and Spring concerts, share your talents at
our semi-annual Coffee House nights, challenge your musicianship skills at regional music festivals, or pursue leadership opportunities in our student-led Music Council. There are lots of things in store in the Music Department at TSS. We look forward to seeing you!

IN THE WORDS OF STUDENTS...
“ Music helps people come together. For me, it was easier to meet new people and make great friends through the music program.”
“This year, I most enjoyed seeing how the band grew and came together. The improvements across each of our performances were clear
and awesome to experience and listen to. Personally, I think I improved most on my ability to play dynamics more effectively to create
character in music pieces.”
“Next year, I have already joined the day class and after-school band class because Music has made this year so much fun. Overall, I really enjoyed this year’s music program and I would recommend all incoming grade 9s to take it because they will have tons of fun while
learning and playing music.”
