Music Update 

Interesting music fact:   Having good rhythmic skills appears to be essential not only for music or dance but also for language and communication skills

 

MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Music Festival was a great success with 120 students performing over two stages! The event began with all 120 students on stage performing together which was great fun and set the tone for the rest of the event. Congratulations to all students who performed. Stay tuned for our performance dates for 2023

STUDENT PERFORMANCE AT CUBE 37

On Thursday 17th November Issy Cauchi performed at the Statewide Autistic Services Art Show at Cube 37 at the Frankston Arts Centre in front of local government members and the wider community. Issy sang a number of songs and accompanied herself on guitar and piano as the audience viewed the artwork. Congratulations to Issy on a wonderful performance!

 

 

Marimba Fundraising Event:

This was launched in the Mid-Year Music Concert. The Music Department is planning to raise $5000 to cover the cost of one of these instruments. If you would like to contribute to the Marimba Fundraiser please contact the front office. Families who donate $100 will have one of the Marimba keys named for them.
