Music

We hope the girls who had a Monday morning rehearsal enjoyed a lie in and feel refreshed to embrace the remaining few weeks of term. The end of term is always a wind up for musicians, not a wind down. Therefore, we ask that you all please take care by resting and eating well and remembering to drink lots of water. Also, take some time for mindfulness – listen to your favourite piece of music. 

On the weekend, I had the great joy of attending a SSO performance of Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture and Piano Concerto, as well as Brahms Symphony No 3. The Mendelssohn piano concerto brought me such joy as I recalled our trip to Spain and Portugal where our very own Joy Yin (Year 10) performed with the orchestra on international stages. It warmed my heart knowing that our girls can perform music that the SSO is performing!!! 

Please remember that all students who have private lessons at the College MUST be a member of one of our many ensembles. Piano students are welcome to join the School Choir. Being a member of a music group, such as band, orchestra, or choir enables your brain to make new connections as well as solidifying knowledge gained through private lessons.
