Primary Music

Primary students are looking forward to receiving instruction from Mrs Lloyd, our music teacher again this year. During semester one Mrs Lloyd will be teaching classes 6, 10 and 11. Classes 5, 12 and 13 will be taught by Mrs Lloyd during semester 2. Our first unit for the year is called ‘Home Sweet Home’ which uses everyday household tasks to help children explore their imaginations and a range of musical concepts.
