Music in the early years
Music at Mary Bailey House (Curricular)
This term, Mary Bailey House children will be focusing on preparation for the Community Carols and End of Year Concert. This will include learning a Christmas Carol, along with practising various songs, movements, cues and using percussion instruments. The children have been working hard to learn all the words to the songs and sing beautifully with confidence. We cannot wait to show our families and community what we do in Music time!
Music at Del Monte (Curricular)
Students are very busy finessing their songs and repertoire for the many events this term. Most of these are to be performed by memory! We are preparing for Grandparents Day, Fra Angelico Festival, Year 4 Showcase, Thanksgiving Mass and Community Carols. This gives students the opportunity to learn about music in a variety of styles and genres.
