MUSIC TEACHER
A music program is taught to all students from Prep to Year 7. The aim of music education is to nourish the artist that is present in varying degrees in every child. This is achieved through the development of the child's awereness of music, response to music and capacity to express him or herself in music. Music,as one of the arts, provides opportunity for aesthetic development. It enables the child to develop a sensitivity to the world around and an appreciation of the part music plays in his or her life and in the life of others.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM
The school is heavily involved in Instrumental Music and Choirs. Instruction in Strings begins in Year 3 for successful applicants; Brass, Woodwind and Percussion in Year 5.
The school ensemble groups comprise:
String Orchestra
Beginner String Group
Senior Band
Junior Band
Senior and Junior Choirs
These groups perform regularly throughout the year and at the School Music Concert in Term 3. The String Groups and Bands compete annually at the Festival of Music, where we have had many successes over the years.
The school music groups are supported by a Music Committee of parents and teachers. Much valuable work is done by this small group to maintain the high reputation of our program. Please consider the support you are able to give this group if your child is involved with Instrumental Music.
