An Interview with Kalen Mills

Kalen Mills (Year 10) took the opportunity to participate in Music Practice Hall, which operates every Monday afternoon. The program aims to provide an opportunity for your son to benefit from assistance as he practices his instrument.

Kalen is a percussionist and highlighted the value of having access to the various percussion instruments and how invaluable this has been for him as a musician, especially given he does not have access to these instruments at home.

The dedication of two solid hours of practice helps me schedule practice within such a busy timetable. Having a professional mentor to assist and provide guidance is invaluable, giving me motivation, focus and direction.

I invite all parents/caregivers to encourage their sons to take part in this unique opportunity on Monday afternoons.

Years 5 and 6 Norman Clarke Music program (Classroom Music)

Please remind your son that he requires his instrument, relevant instrumental book and device for all lessons on either Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Instruments for the program are to be stored in the Music Centre, not in classrooms.

Instrument Storage

All high school students’ instruments are stored safely and securely. Students are reminded to store their instrument in one of two places, in their locker or MU2 on Level 3.
