Week 2A Music News.

This term, we are encouraging all boys who learn an instrument, either at school or externally, to take advantage of a performance opportunity. This is particularly important for students who are in an ensemble. It is also a terrific opportunity for boys who are preparing for an AMEB exam later in the term.

• Year 3-6 Music Eisteddfod – Wednesday, 24 August, 1.30pm to 5pm.

Students can apply to compete in instrumental sections according to Year Level which will be judged by an external adjudicator. They need to prepare one piece to performance standard. When entering, please check they have submitted their form with a copy of the music they are playing and a copy of the accompanist’s music, if required. An accompanist will be provided for this event.

Yellow forms can be found in the Music Hallway or in the attachment here and must be returned to Sandra Trew a week before the event.

• Year K-2 Lunchtime Concerts – Monday, 8^th and Monday, 15^th August.

This is another opportunity for the Year K-2 boys to perform on their instrument. Teachers sign up their students on the sign-up sheet in the Music Hallway, as per usual. If boys learn externally, please email strew@cranbrook.nsw.edu.au with student name, class, and instrument. We are all really looking forward to hearing the boys play and furthering their performance skills.
