Jon Madin Incursion

The annual Jon Madin Marimba Making and Playing Workshops are happening at McGuire on Tuesday, 19th November and Wednesday 20th November.  Classroom and Instrumental Music students and students in Years 7 and 8 will be able to attend these fun sessions with Jon – making marimba notes and making music on his fantastic array of instruments. 

Six sessions will run across the two days. Please see Ms Ryan if you would like to take part in the Jon Madin Workshops. Whilst here, some students may also be involved in filming of a documentary on Jon’s work in schools.

The Jon Madin Marimba Workshop has been generously co–funded by the Fairley Foundation, which has enabled us to have such a special event.

Marimba Ensemble

The Marimba Ensemble are busy tuning up to perform for the elderly residents and visitors at Mercy Health in December.

Jazz Ensemble

Just a reminder that Jazz Ensemble continues their regular rehearsal time of 3.30 -4.30 Tuesdays – in between exams and Outdoor Ed camps for most players.

Music Stocktake

All Instruments and books need to be included in a stocktake before the end of the year. If you have a music tutor book in eg flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet or trombone please return it to the Music Department. All instruments will be checked during lessons.
