Rockfest
On Wednesday May 30th, 5 HPSC students competed in Rockfest at Cranbourne Secondary College, run by Cranbourne Music. There were 14 bands from 9 schools, and each performed a 15 minute set.
The students from HPSC that attended were Karl Te, Jurel Ortencio. Ana Alberto, James Del Carlo and Darren Solomona.
Our students played well and were very proud of themselves. The audience (other performers and some Cranbourne SC students) loved them! Many awards were given out, and Jurel won the award for Best Vocalist!
Well done to all the students involved!
Instrumental Music
Hampton Park Secondary College offers an exciting and inspiring Instrumental Music Program, which includes a variety of musical instruments to learn, specializing in rock, pop and contemporary music. Learning to play an instrument is a fun activity, which enables students to be creative and ignite a passion for Music. It also requires dedication and exceptional team work and there are many opportunities for students to perform (when they are ready!).
We offer Instrumental Lessons on the following instruments;
- guitar/bass guitar
- keyboard/piano
- saxophone
- flute
- trumpet
- trombone
- clarinet
- vocals
- drums
Where possible, all students should have their own instrument to practice on at home (brass, woodwind and keyboard instruments can be hired from the school and drummers only need sticks and a practice pad). Please contact us if you would like assistance with instrument purchase or hiring.
Before your child can begin their lessons they must return the permission slip to the office with payment for 2018. The cost for the year is great value at $120. Payment can be made upfront in full or through a payment plan by using your credit card. Payments are also non-refundable. Lessons will be run in groups of approximately 4 students. Students will be advised of their lesson times early in the year and/or shortly after payment has been received. Please note that our program operates during school hours and students come out of regular classes, alternated each week, to attend instrumental lessons once a week.
Our Instrumental Program operates in the River Gum Performing Arts Centre. This building has created the opportunity for collaboration between teachers and the creation of a common vision for Music Education. We work together in this building sharing learning areas and music equipment. Our staff are highly qualified instrumental teachers each specializing in the tuition of their primary instrument.
