A Starting Note from Musicland

Term 1 has been a busy one for all who dwell in Musicland.

 

We have had new teachers join the Music Staff for 2019. We welcome Luke Champion, our new piano teacher, and Adrian Jackson who is replacing Martin Jackson (who retired at the end of 2018 after teaching classroom Music and conducting the Jazz Band for over 20 years here at Kew High School). Both staff are also involved with ensembles; Luke conducts the keyboard ensemble and Adrian the Intermediate Concert Band.

The Music Captains, Edward Thyer  (year 12), and Deputy Captains, Joshua Ruiz and Mariam Pileggi (year 11), organised a very entertaining Kew’s Got Talent show highlighting the many hidden talents of our students in differing year levels. They also coordinated musical items for school and year level assemblies during the term.

Term 2 will have the Music students involved in Anzac Day ceremonies, the Music Camp, excursions to various venues and finally the half year concert. I look forward to seeing you all there.
