Music News
Dear Sacred Heart Community,
This week during music all the Grade 2 to Grade 6 children have begun working on improving their skills on the ukulele after a long break from playing last year. Some children are absolute beginners and others enjoyed the fact they could remember more than they expected.
It has been really great to see the children using the learning dispositions of resilience and self managing as they approach learning the instrument. To play the ukulele means both hands are doing different things at the same time and then we need to keep in time with each other and sometimes even sing!! I have been so impressed with their enthusiasm and determination.
Arc Children's and Youth Choir
For any children interested in continuing to sing up a storm outside of school, I can highly recommend the Arc Children's and Youth Choir. ARC Children’s Choir focuses on developing vocal talent and musicality, providing:
- Vocal techniques
- Music reading
- Sight singing
- Part singing and harmony
- On-line resources including practice tracks.
- Confidence and skill development in a fun and supportive learning environment.

Rehearsals for the ARC Children’s and Youth Choir are held at the Bridge- Preston (Formerly known as Preston Neighbourhood House) 218 High St Preston.
In Term 1 2022 ARC is running two sessions each Wednesday afternoon during school terms commencing on the 9th of February.
