The Year 4/5 class and the Year Sixes are involved in preparing class ensemble pieces, with untuned percussion being the focus for 4/5 Blue, and tuned percussion for 6 Red. These musical works are full-term projects and require the students to learn and focus on their part and how it works in with the other parts. Both classes have been very impressive with their application of these complex tasks and are well on the way to producing an outstanding result.
Complementing this learning has been the exciting creative assignment of Design and Build a Musical Instrument. Miss Naismith and Miss Ida have guided their classes to draw on both their STEM and Music know-how, tap into their creativity, and come up with a fully working handmade musical instrument.
This year’s Festival Choir have experienced the most dramatic and unprecedented change of plans. The annual Catholic Schools’ Music Festival had to be cancelled, causing great disappointment to our keen and dedicated singers. An alternative event is in the planning and will be a pre-recorded streamed event to replace the live concerts in the last week of Term 3. Our choir members are continuing their rehearsals to reach performance standard in both singing and choreography. Each time updated details of the planned streamed event are revealed, the more exciting it looks!
The Music Room has recently re-located, but only as far as the room next door. You will still find us across from the library in in the back courtyard.
