At Georgian Bay District Secondary School, we have opportunities for every student regardless of previous musical experience. Every year the music department has the pleasure of welcoming both grade nine students who have no previous musical experience and students who have had extensive musical experience.

Grade 9 Music Course

Music is a great way to create new and unique friendships while also building on existing ones. Many students will admit that the GBDSS music program has introduced them to their closest friends, whom they would not have met otherwise. The time spent with your friends at concerts, festivals, and weekly evening band rehearsals will create a special bond and make your high school experience a little less stressful!

A key part of the GBDSS music experience is the trips and performances that we participate in throughout every school year. Annual trips include music festival performances, retirement home visits, parades, elementary school performances, and of course many school concerts.

Grade 9 Instrumental (course code AMI 1O) is a course designed to grow musicians. This course offers a wide array of instruments to choose from including Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Bass, and Percussion. This course is designed especially to instill the musical foundations students will need before continuing on in instrumental music or joining our intermediate and senior specialty courses which include Guitar, Keyboarding, and Vocal Music.
