Tips on remembering Music Lessons

For students taking music lessons, keeping track of lesson times and attending lessons on time is crucial for their success. However, with the busy class time schedules, it can be challenging for students to keep track of time and remember to attend lessons. 

Wearing a watch can be a simple solution to this problem. Many watches come with alarms and timers that students can set to go off at specific times. By setting an alarm to remind them of their music lesson, students can avoid the risk of forgetting or being caught up in other activities. This ensures that they attend their lessons regularly and make the most of their allocated lesson time.

Using a watch can also help students develop a sense of responsibility and discipline, and to take ownership of their time.

A few of our students are using a WobL watch and their lesson attendance and improvement is outstanding! Check it out online at the link below.

Year 1 and 2 Junior Musicianship Club

Commencing Monday afternoons 2 March, 3:15 to 4:00pm, Junior Music Classroom

This free class, based on the Kodály approach and aligned with the Australian Curriculum, offers Year 1 and 2 students a structured and creative way to develop their musicianship skills. Through singing, movement, improvisation, and instrumental techniques, students will deepen their understanding of music in an engaging and age-appropriate setting.

At the end of each term, families will be invited to an open lesson to share in their child’s learning journey.

Musical

Please mark your calendars for the Clayfield College Musical, taking place on Friday 6 March and Saturday 7 March. This production showcases the incredible talent and commitment of our students and staff, and we look forward to sharing it with our community. 

But before you hop, skip or tumble down the rabbit hole into our Alice in Wonderland musical, pop into the Foundation Courtyard for a wonderfully curious P&F Pre Event.

Expect a little touch of mischief and a whole lot of Wonderland charm. The bar will be serving the magical Mad Hatter’s Blue Brew, along with bubbles, wine, beer and soft drinks for every thirsty traveller. There will be delicious cheese boxes for the grown-ups and tasty treats for our smaller adventurers, tempting enough for the Cheshire Cat to appear. 

Come early and start your journey with a topsy turvy taste of Wonderland before the show begins. We hope to see you there for a wonderfully mad time.

A reminder to students and families of the Musical rehearsal schedule is provided below.
