Lost Property

**Please check the lost property bin in the Hall if you are missing any items.

Please ensure that all children's belongings are clearly labelled with their name (not just initials) and grade. Sometimes items are not returned to their rightful owner because they are not labelled correctly or clearly. If you find named belongings in your child's possession, could you please return them to the school office.

We regularly sort named items and return them to the classrooms.

Our lost property is stored in the HALL.

Instrumental Music

School council values the contribution of instrumental music lessons to a child’s education and regret that we do not have the funding to run our own instrumental music program. Instrumental music lessons can form an important part of a child’s education and is very much a component of the ‘wholistic approach’ to a child’s education. In lieu of a school funded program we are striving to facilitate access to quality instrumental music lessons through a user pays system delivered by the following external providers.

Cat Canteri

Believes that learning and playing music should be a joyous, pleasurable and rewarding experience.

She has a Bachelor of Music (Improvisation), Victorian College of Arts, University of Melbourne.

Singer-Songwriter, drums and guitar with The Stillsons http://www.thestillsons.com

All students learn to read and compose using standard music notation, and theory appropriate to their playing ability.

Cat believes students should have strong rhythmic foundations upon which to build their theory and practice. So in their first lesson (on either drums, guitar or keys ) each student will learn how to clap and count Semi-breves, Dotted Minims, Minims and Crotchets in 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures.

Every child is different and encourages them to direct her on what musical styles they are interested in learning – Blues, Jazz, Classical, Rock, Top 40 Hits etc.

Beginners on Keyboard will learn from hand written music and notes – varying from a week to several months. This will give me an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and allow me to accelerate each pupil’s learning according to their their knowledge and ability. Once their hand-written progress has reached an appropriate level, Cat advises parents on suitable books for them to purchase.

There is a non-compulsory concert held at the end of every semester.

All students are required to have an instrument to practice on at home – with the exception of drums.

Individual lessons: $38/30min or $28/20min

ABC Music

Founded in 2006, ABC Music Group is proud to have taught more than 8,000 primary school students, enriching their love of music through traditional and contemporary music education.

At ABC, our instrumental music lessons run during school hours, and allow students the opportunity to learn violin and piano in group, paired and private lessons. We pride ourselves on placing highly trained, empathetic music teachers in the classroom and allowing students the opportunity to study music in a fun, encouraging environment.

Teachers Cleo, Amelia and Tace have developed a wealth of musical knowledge during their time teaching and performing and are thrilled to be able to pass this on to young musicians. In their lessons, students are not only taught how to play the instruments themselves, but also learn important musicianship skills such as reading music and are encouraged to explore their creativity and song-writing skills.

We can also prepare students for AMEB exams!
