NEVR String Workshops

The North Eastern Victorian Region invite string players from AMEB Grades 1-8 (and above) to three wonderful days of music making in one of three orchestras. Each student is placed in an orchestra appropriate to their playing standard. The minimum required playing standard is AMEB grade 1 (or equivalent).

The workshop is staffed by expert tutors and conductors and supervised by Department of Education staff. The workshop culminates with a concert on Wednesday, November 30 commencing at 4.00pm at Blackburn High School.

For more information, see the attached flyer.

Milestones and Auditions

After the whirlwind of performances throughout term 3, term 4 is a time to reflect on the work we have done and begin looking towards 2023. To achieve this, students have been undertaking their Milestone assessments where they have the opportunity to present their progress across the semester.It has been a highly educational experience to watch how our students have improved across the year and for them to reflect on their growth.  The Milestones also serve as auditions for the 2023 ensembles. 

Once completed, the new ensembles will be published and begin rehearsals mid November. 

When will you be submitting your re-enrolment?

As we prepare for 2023, it is time to submit your re-enrolment to be part of the music program. Information will soon be appearing on XUNO for current students

 to re-enrol. The earlier this is completed, the quicker we can allocate preference of instruments and lesson schedules. 

If you are not currently leaning an instrument what is stopping you starting?

Expressions of interest are now available at https://forms.office.com/r/U4LCEnXbKF students who would like to join the program but are not currently participating.
