BOURNE -- Superintendent Kerri Anne Quinlan-Zhou and principal Amy Cetner are pleased to share that a group of Bourne High School music students recently had a unique opportunity to speak with a BHS alumnus after studying his work as part of their
class.
On Thursday, Oct. 7, students in Lisa Fournier’s Pre-AP Music class had the opportunity to virtually meet with composer Ian Good, a 2007 graduate of BHS, who was also one of Fournier’s former students. The students were able to ask Good
questions about his piece, “The Mad Wind,” after it was incorporated into their lesson
plan for the new school year. The first module in the Pre-AP Music class is the Introduction to Programmatic Music, which examines music associated with something that gives it meaning. Students in Fournier’s class studied such famous composers as John Williams, Franz Schubert, Gustav Holst, George F. Handel and Rene Claussen, before Fournier assigned them “The Mad Wind.”
