Music Matters

I trust that you have now read the email from Mr Couani concerning the new COVID-19 regulations and how they affect St Pius. We will not be running choirs, concert and jazz bands or orchestra. The dance group will not go ahead. Whist this is incredibly frustrating for staff and students these regulations affect all schools. Happily, individual lessons are still allowed so the boys can keep developing their skills. Our string, percussion and guitar ensembles can continue rehearsing and the expectation is that they will still record items for our virtual Twilight Concert in Week 7. 

I am in consultation about possible options for rehearsing ensembles and would welcome feedback. We are exploring online rehearsals and I will have some more details soon. Needless to say it would take the form of on line rehearsal as per Term 2 when the student was at home. The time of the rehearsal would have to be out of hours possibly on a Saturday morning in lieu of sport. Again any feedback would be welcome. Your support is very welcome throughout this most difficult of times.
