THEATRE SHOWCASE ~
Mrs. Gottesman & Ms. Filomeno
The Perth Amboy High School Theater Program is proud to present our first ever Virtual Showcase! Our students have worked extremely hard over the last year preparing various scenes, monologues and performances to share with our amazing community! We look forward to getting back on the stage but we are so grateful for the opportunity to record for all of you! Enjoy!
Introduction to Music ~
Mr. Brian Plagge
Students in Introduction to Music learned about a style of composition known as "Chance Music," whereby composers selected notes and rhythms, assigned them a number 1-6, then wrote them down based on the roll of a pair of dice - whatever combination of notes and rhythms came up, they wrote down. These samples include student's note and rhythm selections, their dice rolls and the final product.
