Acting Director of Music | Mr Jan Hewerdine

A perusal of the calendar dates below will show that we have a number of engagements in Term 4. Please consult the College App for more details as they come to hand and please respond promptly to invites sent to the Parent Lounge.

This evening we have our Chamber Music concert starting at 6pm at Waterford Place. This concert provides the opportunity for soloists and smaller ensembles to showcase in a more intimate concert setting. Families of participants, please respond via the Parent Lounge. Soloists need to be at Waterford Place at 3.30pm to soundcheck, with the remainder to arrive at 5.30pm. Hospitality will be available for families from 5pm and after the concert.

All musicians in Years 5 and 6 classroom Music, the Red and Black Concert Bands, Callan Red and Black Strings have all been asked to commit to memory the music to Carmina Burana. We ask families to encourage the boys to work on this at home. The results will be well worth the effort when we combine these musicians with the Celebration of Excellence Orchestra and Choir.

We will be running outdoor rehearsals of Carmina Burana in Treacy flat to teach the boys the format for performance. The Black Concert Band and Callan Red Strings are required after school on Monday 29 October from 3.15-4.30pm. The Red Concert Band and Callan Black Strings are required after school on Tuesday 30 October from 3.15-4.30pm.

A new initiative, Music Practice Hall will be rolled out for Wind, Brass, Percussion and Strings. This will be supported, after school practice run by Music staff. This will be held in the Music Centre, from 3.15-5pm on Mondays, commencing next Monday 15 October.

JMI’s final term of Night Classes for 2018 will be kicking off on 10 October. These are casual group classes in learning to play jazz repertoire for beginner and intermediate levels. Held on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm, these classes are great way to start learning for beginners or to build on the current knowledge for intermediate players.
