Music in the Senior School (Curricular)
Congratulations to Year 7 for their involvement in the recent Gala Concert. They contributed to a varied and engaging evening of performances and gained valuable experience performing as part of a larger school event. As well as performing in the College Choir, SInfonietta Strings, Zheng and Taiko Ensembles, Concert Band and the Symphony Orchestra, Year 7 students joined to sing as part of Karl Jenkins’ Mass of Peace and then in this year’s finale Let Hope Arise – singing in English, French and Italian as part of these joyous experiences. Please enjoy this photo slideshow from the concert!
Year 8 students have been exploring the world of rock music, composing their own original tracks using Soundtrap. Through this project, they have developed valuable skills in using Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and have shown great creativity in the process.
In Year 10, students have been delving into 20th century Impressionist music. As part of this unit, they created their own impressionist style paintings in class, which then served as inspiration for composing original music that reflects the colours and moods of their visual artwork, a true celebration of cross disciplinary creativity.
Year 11 are working hard as they approach their final term in the Preliminary course, while in support of their final projects, our Year 12 HSC Music students were fortunate to welcome Dr Jim Coyle for a musicology and composition workshop. His expertise and insight provided valuable support as students continue preparing for their final HSC assessments. We extend our sincere thanks to Dr Coyle for his time and guidance.
