Music News – Week 3

Dear Families,

The following outlines the Music calendar for Term 3. Further information can be obtained by clicking on the appropriate links, where applicable.

Performance opportunities:
K- 6 Music Morning Concerts
Music Morning Concerts are held on certain Fridays from 8:00am to 8:30am in Music Room 1. These concerts are open to students in K to 6 who have a piece at performance standard, regardless of level, to perform. It’s always wonderful to hear their great work and witness our students’ progress in an encouraging environment. Instrumental teachers sign up their students, as appropriate, and you will receive an email from me with an invitation to attend should you like to hear your son perform.

  • Friday, 16 August (Week 4)
  • Friday, 6 September (Week 7)

Junior School Music Soireé
On Thursday, 22 August (Week 5) there will be a Junior School Music Soireé held in Music Room 1 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. This event is for more accomplished instrumentalists and vocalists in Years 3-6 who are well prepared and can perform with polish and regard to the musical style. Your son’s instrumental teacher (or Mr Fox) will send home a Soireé form should they feel this event is suitable for your son. Please note: this event is also open to students who have private instrumental lessons outside of the School. Please click here for more information.
