INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

Year 11 Music

Performance Night

The Year 11 Unit 2 Group Performance SAC was held on Tuesday 6 September.

The students took pieces originally performed and written by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Prince, and performed to address criteria relating to technique, accuracy in pitch, communication and presentation in performance.

All students performed at a high level and were rewarded with applause from a community of family and friends who packed the PAC theatre with a gold coin donation at the door.

Students have decided that the majority of the $127.40 received from the audience on the night will go towards the charity, Headspace.

Thank you to the staff, students and LHS community who were an excellent audience on the night.

September Soiree

The Instrumental Music students have continued to learn new skills and techniques on their instruments in their lessons. They worked hard preparing for the September Soiree which was held on Thursday 8 September.

The evening consisted of two concerts due to the large number of students that wanted to perform.

The first concert had twenty-four students performing on either woodwind, brass and percussion instruments.  It was great hearing students perform in small ensembles and solo items. What a wonderful entertaining evening it was.
