Director of Music | Mr Jan Hewerdine
Welcome to Week 9
Last Friday we held Placement hearings for our incoming 2021 Years 5 and 7 boys. We commenced with a choral experience for the boys before hearing them on their primary instruments. Our sincere thanks to all the Music staff and Terrace musicians who came out on the day to help out with the BBQ and running handball games while the new students waited to be picked up.
Please note that Music Hall next week will be run only for percussion.
As of Term 4 we will be running all ensembles based on our 2021 membership. For many this will mean a change. Families will be contacted soon as to which ensemble(s) and the requirements needed.
Rhythm Section workshops
I would like to draw your attention to the Rhythm Section workshops, Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September (Week 2 of the holidays). These focus purely on the guitarists, pianists, bass players and drummers of our four big bands and the Terrace Rock Band. We will be bringing in specialist tutors to work with the boys to hone their individual and collective ensemble skills. For some of these musicians, they will be newly minted members of these ensembles!
If you have any queries or concerns, please contact the Music Department music@terrace.qld.edu.au
