2018 Music Subject Selection

Subject selection for Years 7 – 9 will shortly be underway, and with a talented cohort of musicians in these years we hope to see many of you in the Music Classroom in 2018!

Classroom music offers a fantastic way for young musicians to further their skills and understanding of music, and utilising their performance skills learned in lessons and ensembles. Students learn to compose and understand music, looking at famous artists and composers, and performing original arrangements together. New musicians are welcome, too! For any questions regarding Music courses, please contact the Music Department – 9383 0440 or music.secretary@johnxxiii.edu.au.

Auditions

Week 9 (September 11 – 15) is Auditions Week for Concert Band, Wind Band and Chamber Choir. Students auditioning for these ensembles should collect excerpts from the Music Office and select an audition time. Good luck!
