Music at Mary Bailey House (Curricular)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mary Bailey House is buzzing with the sounds of children\u2019s voices. We have been exploring the use of dynamics when we sing; whispering to ensure our voices are soft and singing with full voices so that all the staff can hear us. As we have moved into the middle of the year, the students are mastering essential skills such as patience in waiting their turn, attentive listening to instructions, harmonious ensemble playing, tonal singing, and active participation. The nurturing environment that is created fosters a sense of safety and inclusivity, empowering each child to confidently engage and freely express themselves through music.

Music at Del Monte (Curricular)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was great to hear our marvellous students performing at the Term 2 Recital, learning concert behaviour (introducing your piece and yourself, bowing, clapping others) and playing a piece for the enjoyment of the college audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In class music our students love using the instruments to explore the concepts of music. Year 4 have arranged rhythm compositions and performed them on djembes in groups. Year 1 enjoyed the big bass drum, creating a rhythm which the class echos, as part of a larger singing game. All grades rehearsed singing Hearts on Fire<\/em> for the Reconciliation liturgy and as always raise their voices in song with great enthusiasm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are gearing up for the Gala Concert with combined rehearsals of groups across the grades. Always looking ahead, we have begun preparations for St Dominic\u2019s Day, learning responses and songs for the celebratory Mass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
