Primary Students will take part in a hands-on workshop while High School music ECAs expand their offerings.
This term, Year 4 are learning about Thai music. To support this topic work, we have invited a Thai Musician into school next week. He will be showing the children different Thai instruments, and teaching them how to play them, so that we can have a go at learning a class ensemble piece using some Thai instruments. He will also perform for the children. It should be a really great workshop! Thank you to Khroo Kitty for helping us organise this.
The keyboard lessons got off to a great start this week. Year 4 have explored the pentatonic scale and begun their own compositions and Year 3 have worked on finger technique and will be learning some singing games on the keyboard next week. Year 1 had their very first lessons and worked on developing a lovely straight posture by balancing toys on their heads as they played!
A very warm welcome from High School music. We have made a great start to the new academic year and have welcomed our new music teacher, Mr Nathan who is a woodwind specialist.
With ECA ‘sign ups’ fast approaching we would like to outline the Musical opportunities at our new campus.
With all music ECAs we strongly encourage students to continue with groups they have previously participated in and we look forward to welcoming lots of new faces.
If an ECA is by invitation, please ask your child to speak to a music teacher.
Monday – High School Production Orchestra (invitation)
Tuesday – Wind Band, String Ensemble and Orchestra

Thursday - High School Choir
Every day – Rock Band / Pop Groups (invitation)
We are all very excited about the forthcoming year and all the great music we will create in our fantastic new facilities!
