Primary School Music

Concerts Galore

This is a very exciting time of year for the Music Department and all the musicians in school. Last week we had our first Christmas concert and it was very special as it featured the children and teachers of our new instrumental music ECAs. The children impressed everyone with just how far they have progressed already in only 10 weeks and we are looking forward to seeing how they get on next term as well.

A big THANK YOU to the teachers of Opus one School of Music for helping working with these children this term.

If your child is interested in learning an instrument here is what is on offer with our new instrumental ECAs in Term 2:

Monday ECA:
Clarineo -
Years 3-4
Piano Disney Songs - Years 2-3

Tuesday Lunchtime ECAs (half an hour):
Piano Skills -
Year 2 group and Year 3-6 group
Flute - Years 4-6

Tuesday ECA:
Clarinet -
Years 4-6
Violin - Years 4-6
Piano Skills - Years 4-6

Wednesday ECA:
Piano Pop Songs
- Years 4-6

Friday ECA:
Trumpet -
Years 4-6
Saxophone - Years 4-6

This is a great option for children who are learning clarinet, flute, trumpet, violin or saxophone in their music lessons already and want to develop more confidence in the basics. We will also accept children who are beginners and want to explore a new instrument.

Please check on Moodle for the prices for half hour and 1 hour lessons..

Carol Singing

Last Friday STA Sing Girls got us off to a Christmasy start in the Library with some carols! On Wednesday 6 December they will be performing in the Marriott Hotel at Thonglor for the lighting of their Christmas Tree. We wish them all the best for this exciting event!
