Instrumental/Vocal Concert season
Today the series of concerts presented by students learning an instrument/voice at the College continues. After the success of the Year 8 to 12 Vocal Concert on Tuesday and the three Strings, Guitar & Drum Canowindra concerts yesterday, there are 3 piano concerts at Canowindra this afternoon at 3:45pm and 4:45pm and 2 instrumental concerts at Yirramboi at 7pm.
AMEB Exams
Last Saturday’s Australian Music Board examinations were completed successfully by the College’s wind students. Congratulations to all those who participated!
This Saturday, it will be the turn of our string students, followed later in the month by brass and piano students. Students learning guitar and drums will then sit their ANZCA Music Examinations.
We wish all students well as they prepare for this important opportunity to showcase their developing skills, demonstrate their progress and receive valuable, authentic feedback on their learning.
Music Information Evening
On Thursday 6th November at 7pm there is an information evening for families interested in involving their children in the Music Program. Information regarding individual lessons, joining an ensemble, the College Musical and classroom offerings will be available. After a short session together, there is opportunity to discuss instrumental offerings with teachers and students.
