Amadeus Music Program – A Fantastic Start to 2026

Amadeus has begun for 2026 with wonderful energy and enthusiasm.

Many of our Year 7 students, particularly those who came from our feeder schools, started learning an instrument in primary school and are eager to continue developing their skills in high school. Other students are just starting their musical journey. To ensure every student is supported appropriately, we offer differentiated classes ranging from beginner to advanced levels. This allows each student to learn at a pace that challenges and supports them.

Students should begin checking Compass for their updated class allocations. Please note:

• Year 7 classes will run on Wednesdays
• Year 8 classes will run on Thursdays

We are incredibly fortunate to have a team of outstanding professional musicians teaching in the program. These highly accomplished artists regularly perform across Sydney and bring a wealth of expertise and real-world experience to their lessons.

This year, students will have the opportunity to practise at school on Wednesdays and Thursdays, before and after school, as well as during recess and lunch. As instruments will remain at school, students will not be taking them home. The exception to this applies to students participating in Orchestra or Stage Band; these students may take instruments home but must contact Ms Olsen to arrange this.

We look forward to sharing our students’ progress with you at concerts later in the year – we hope to see you there!
