Amadeus will provide students in Years 7 and 8 with a string, woodwind or brass instrument to learn, as well as classroom music lessons. This program will be delivered by specialist music tutors, as well as classroom teachers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Amadeus enables access and equity to music education for our students, regardless of abilities and music backgrounds. It is underpinned by research that proves that learning an instrument and playing in a musical ensemble strengthens neural pathways in the brain and can significantly improve academic success and student engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The scale of Amadeus is enormous and the numbers tell the story: 52,000 instruments, 270 specialist music tutors and 33,000 students across 150 schools.\u00a0It is a monumental project to roll out a program of this scale, which is why it is being launched in stages across the Sydney Catholic Schools\u2019 network. We are so excited that Amadeus will be coming to our school and we will be able to provide you with more detailed information about the program, how it will run and the specific instrumental opportunities for our students next year.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the meantime, you can find further information about the scale and ambition of this innovative program on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sydcatholicschools.nsw.edu.au\/education\/the-arts\/amadeus-music-program\">Amadeus page of the Sydney Catholic Schools\u2019 website<\/a>\u00a0where you will find a brochure and other details on the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ground-breaking new program has just been launched by Sydney Catholic Schools&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-8357","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/8357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
