It has been a busy and productive start for the MWSC Music Department this term. Over 260 students have started instrumental lessons at the college and a majority of the school ensembles have begun to rehearse.
Thanks to the students who have been making a great effort to attend before and after school rehearsals. It is essential for the progress and success of these groups that students attend all rehearsals. In the case of student illness, can families please email the ensemble director prior to the rehearsal.
A reminder that lessons for Years 7-10 students take place during class time on a rotational basis. The lessons outside of school time are reserved for VCE students. It is important that Compass is carefully checked each week so that students are aware of lesson times and come with the correct resources.
Lunchtime Concert – Junior Campus
The Stage Band and Soul Band traveled to the Junior Campus to participate in a lunchtime concert. The theme of the concert was ‘Stage & Soul – Women in Jazz’ in celebration of International Women’s Day. It was a great way to kick off lunchtime concerts for the year that will give the music students the invaluable experience of performing to their teachers and peers.
Thanks to both bands for preparing songs early in the year and to the Student Music Leaders who assisted in running the event.
Music Soirees
The music soirees are an excellent showcase of soloists and small groups to celebrate our musicians at all levels. Please feel free to come along and support these wonderful concerts.
