Deloraine School welcomes new music teacher by Judy Wells David Heilmann started his career as a music teacher 15 years ago. He received his Bachelor of Education, specializing in Music and Geography, at the University of Manitoba. His career started with 12 years teaching in the Inner City (Winnipeg). Though this area of the city often gets a bad rap, Heilmann says the kids were amazing. “Kids that don’t have anything are so appreciative of everything and they thrived on the music program,” says Heilmann. The class sizes were huge, with the largest one up to 170 kids. Following these years teaching, Heilmann took a year off to take care of his grandma who lived near Lake Francis (north of Winnipeg). This was followed by a year internship in Australia where Heilmann obtained his wind conducting certificate and ORFF music certification. And last year,

he filled a term, as Grade 1-10 music teacher at Pierson School. “And now I’ve come full circle, teaching K-8 music again. I’m really excited to get started. My goal is to build a High School music program. My expertise is in band and choral. I admit I am a band geek and can’t wait to start band again at the School,” he added. Moving toward the goal of a High School program, the Grades 7 and 8 will be starting band this year. To this end, a fundraiser concert will be held on Saturday, November 7, at the School, featuring “Sisters of the Holy Rock”. Tickets ($15) will be available very soon at the school office. Heilmann says the band program (Grade 7 and 8) will be looking for donations of used instruments. It doesn’t matter if they are in disrepair (within reason) as he can fix them. “I understand there was a band program here years ago. It is my hope the interest is still out there in the community. This is important because the School Division needs to know the community is behind the program,” he added. Heilmann says he loves the small town living. “As soon as I saw the music classroom I knew this was where I wanted to be and I went right out and bought a house. It feels like home in Deloraine just after a month and a half,” added BACK TO SCHOOL- Wednesday, September 9, was the first day of school for the 2015-2016 school year at Deloraine School.
