As the springboard and inspiration for Year 10, they were to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/australian.museum\/exhibition\/unsettled\/\">Australian Museum and use the exhibition &#8220;Unsettled<\/a>&#8221; to select an item, picture or story to convey in music.\u00a0 We continued with this idea but changed to a virtual tour of the exhibition. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">\u00a0We were excited to welcome old girl and composer, Dr Aristea Mellos to work with the girls. She shared some of her compositions and provide further inspiration and guidance. Below are the items, picture and stories of inspiration that the girls have set to music.

Our wonderful and very creative videographer Eddi Goodfellow captured the girls playing their instruments in a myriad of settings around the school and these pop-up performances were thoroughly enjoyed by all! String players have been fortunate to be able to rehearse and perform together in person this term after such a long period of isolation during lockdown. Our Beethoven video collaboration of strings, band and choirs which will be presented at Speech Day will be an \u201cOde to Joy\u201d to the return of music making in 2021!<br \/>\n<strong>Anne Sweeney <br \/>\nDirector of Strings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Peripatetic News <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As we approach the end of the year, I invite you to have a conversation with your daughter about their instrumental and vocal lessons.<\/p>\n<p>If your daughter does not want to continue in the program next year, we ask that you give YOUR MUSIC TUTOR the required four weeks\u2019 notice now.<\/p>\n<p>The Music Department are grateful for your support during the period of lockdown this year.
