Music @ FCC by Mrs Abercrombie

It has been an exciting few months for the Music Department as we cross the finish line of the Production and enter the starting line for Instrumental Recitals. The students have embraced every opportunity given to them this term and I cannot wait to see them flourish with their musical endeavours.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr saw the students singing at the top of their lungs and embracing musical complexities that we had not yet discovered at Foundation Christian College! Not only were there three-part harmonies, but also the ability to learn complex melody lines and coordinating this with choreography and a general stage presence. Congratulations to all of my beautiful musicians, singers, and performers who embraced this journey. A special thank you to Layla Cooper, Milani Chong, Tadisa Ruwodo and Amalie Calicdan for supporting the production with their strong vocal technique and powerful sight-reading skills. I’m so grateful that you joined the team. It was an honour to be the Vocal Director with all the cast and crew! **For more photos from the Production please see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Jr Article in this newsletter.

Instrument REcitals

In just a few weeks, we will see our Instrumental Students perform in their recitals for Semester 1. We now have approximately 100 students on instruments are at Foundation Christian College. Family and friends will be notified of recital times and you can watch your young musical proteges perform on their instruments. Thank you to our amazing tutors who continue to nurture and guide our students. 

Primary Choir to record live music!

Finally, I would like to announce that the Foundation Christian College Primary Choirs will be performing and recording in the John Butler Studio in just a few weeks. They will be performing and recording the School Song and the National Anthem that will now be used at the assemblies from here on in. It’s going to be an incredible opportunity for students to learn how to work in a recording studio environment and listen to the musicians accompany them as they perform. I would say it’s an opportunity of a lifetime.

That’s all from me for now!
