Instrumental Music

Instrumental Music Program 2025

The instrumental music program at Great Ryrie hit the ground running this week with 121 students enrolled and over 15 more waiting to start next week! We've also had to bring on three new teachers to meet demand, which is a nice problem to have! 

Enrolments are still open via the Google Form: https://forms.gle/396QswwDT7ZENXFw9

I'll do my best to fit you in or there's a waiting list if I can't 🙂

Choirs and New School Concert Band

Choirs will be starting up again next week - previous members will be auto-enrolled and I'll be sending out EOIs for new members via Compass. 

I will also be starting a school concert band later in the year - I'll also be sending out EOIs via Compass once instrumental music is all organised 🙂

Shrek Jr Audition Assistance with Laura

Laura has kindly offered to provide lunchtime sessions to help Grade 5/6 prepare for Shrek Jr auditions (if they'd like).

Please contact Laura directly via laura.martin.voice@gmail.com to organise 🙂

Recent Successes

Otherwise we've had some recent successes among students and staff 🤩

Laura's student (and past School Captain) Chloe Fong was cast in Mountain District Musical Society's (MDMS's) Mary Poppins, playing at the Karralyka Centre from 13th - 22nd June (tickets via mdms.org.au/marypoppins), and my wife and I both won Lyrebird Awards (non professional performing arts awards in the Eastern suburbs) for Best Small Group Number in a Variety on the weekend! 🏆😁

Think that's all for now - I'm off to work on the next week's timetables but feel free to get in touch if you have any instrumental music questions via ian.nisbet2@education.vic.gov.au - Dr Ian 🙂
