Phil Beverley, Director of Music P – 12

Congratulations to our Spring Festival finalist performers. The Orchestra Room was filled with the sounds of exceptional music-making, performing to a full house of appreciative audience members. Our winners from this event were Kevin Chu (Junior 7-9 winner) and Wesley Woodhouse (10-12 winner).

Ensembles and the Music Tour

Over the coming term, 70 of our music students will be working hard each Sunday as they prepare the repertoire for this year’s European Music Tour. I’d like to thank each and every student in advance for giving of their time to commit to this wonderful experience. All ensembles will of course continue normal rehearsals as we all prepare for the Term 4 Soiree, NEU!, Prize Giving and Carols Service.

Lessons and the Cranbrook App

A reminder that the Cranbrook App holds the information for co-curricular activities your child is enrolled in and in particular, the rotating lessons that occur each week. This is your single point of truth and I’d like to encourage all parents to have a conversation with their child at the start of each week, regarding the timings of these lessons. We hope to have student access in the near future. If you have any technical difficulties regarding the login for the App, please click here to access the instructions for downloading and installing the App.

Perkins Building is open for business.

From day 1 next term, the Perkins Building will be our home once again. The refurbishment is nearly complete, and we are very excited about making music in this beautiful new space. The marriage of light with improved acoustic treatments as well as dedicated music spaces for performance, composition, recordings and listening will a welcomed addition for all of our students studying music in one form or another. We look forward to celebrating the opening of this space in due course.

Warm Regards

Phil Beverley
Director of Music
