Music lesson reminder

A reminder to all families that we require two weeks’ notice before the end of term to cancel lessons (Friday 7 June). Any cancellations after this date will attract a full term’s worth of fees.

Thank you to the String Quartet and soloist Jack Gardiner (Year 12) for the musical support at assembly on Tuesday.

The Pep Band is performing at half time for the GPS Football match at Tennyson this Saturday.  This dynamic group will be performing again at Tennyson on 1 June.

Workshop

On Wednesday 5 June from 3-6.30pm in the Music Centre, Professor Annette-Barbara Vogel will be running a rehearsal/workshop with our premier string ensemble, the Waterford Soloists.

You can learn more about Professor Vogel here:

Terrace Music will continue to find new opportunities such as the above for our musicians to develop and perform.

Norman Clarke Concert

With the Norman Clarke Concert coming up and with QCMF beyond that, we ask all students in Years 5 and 6 to be proactive in their preparations for these events. A regular home practice routine is vital if you are to succeed in your music studies.

The Music Department provides extra support through Music Practice Hall on Mondays from 3.15-5pm. Additionally, boys can come to the Music Centre at recesses to seek additional support.

Parent Lounge

A crucial component in managing performances and sending out information is through the Parent Lounge. I ask that families please respond to requests in Parent Lounge promptly. This provides us with rolls and information so as to best manage equipment, personnel and transport.
