String Soire\u00e9<\/strong><\/h4>\nLast Thursday, students in Contemporary Strings performed in a Lunchtime Soire\u00e9. There were solo cello and violin performances and also small chamber ensembles that students had organised and rehearsed themselves. Congratulations to all the performers, special thanks to the students who came along to be an appreciative audience and to Ms Catherine McKay for accompaniment. Performances of this nature, in a safe and non-threatening environment, are vital for a musician\u2019s development and sharing our music making together is lots of fun!<\/p>\n

Vocal Soir\u00e9e<\/strong><\/h4>\nOn Thursday afternoon, several students from the studios of Helen Saltos and Leonie Butler performed in a vocal soir\u00e9e in the Great Hall for a receptive audience. Students ranged in age from Year 6 to Year 11, some having had only a few lessons before sharing their music from the stage. All performed differing styles of music with confidence! Thank you to Leonie for accompanying her students and to Ms Stephanie Holmes for accompanying the students of Helen Saltos.<\/p>\n

\nRock Bands<\/strong><\/h4>\nOn Tuesday evening, the SCEGGS Rock Bands had the exciting opportunity to travel to Scots College to take part in a collaborative rock music workshop. The event featured performances from a total of 11 bands, each showcasing their unique musical style. Throughout the evening, the bands received valuable feedback and expert advice from Sydney-based drummer and composer Paul Derricott. His insights on performance technique, textural layering, and stage presence provided the young musicians with a deeper understanding of their craft. The workshop not only fostered musical growth but also encouraged collaboration and creativity among students from both schools.<\/p>\n

The composition delves into themes of darkness and uncertainty, gradually transforming from a sense of apprehension to a rising excitement as the piece unfolds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Year 3 Choir<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe Year 3 Choir performed a song called New Friends in the K-6 Assembly on Tuesday 24 September. It was a joy hearing this heart-warming song about making new friends that was sung so beautifully for parents, teachers and students.<\/p>\n
