Music Program News
We are very happy to be once again teaching music face to face at Northcote Primary! It's great to be able to do common music teaching activities again like demonstrating correct hand positions and playing techiniques easily, and to play along together, sharing the experience of making music.
It's also been great to welcome back students who have had to take a break from music lessons during lockdown.
While most students continued with music lessons online during lockdown, it has been a very restrictive way to teach and learn. Thanks students for your resilience and thanks parents for your continued support for the program over the past weeks and months.
A couple of students deserve a big shout out-- even during the lockdown Bridget S. and her sister Grace decided to undertake piano exams and both were able to achieve outstanding results. Well done! Following in the footsteps of her talented older sister, Grace received a high distinction overall, and for one of her pieces gained a "perfect" score of 100%. Fantastic!!
We're really looking forward to getting back into the groove over the next few weeks, with high hopes of finishing the year on a positive note.
