Firstly I would like to welcome all new music students to the music program! Although it was an odd start to the year, we seem to be on track now. We have some exciting events this year and some new performance opportunities also including our first “Rock Night” to be held at the end of Term 3.

In Week 4 we had about 150 music student photographs taken and I would like to thank Alex Stevens and Musikal for helping out on the day, organising shirts and general helping out.

Musikal met for the first time this year on 18 February and it was fantastic to welcome so many new faces. Musikal is currently looking into fund raising for some replacement percussion gear and there is also a focus on supporting not only school based music events but also supporting our music students performing in the broader community. Felicity Kingston will be coordinating this role of supporting community performances. As always if anyone has any questions contact myself, Michelle Vivian or Alex Stevens in the music department or through the Musikal mailing list.

Hopefully everyone in music is already on the mailing list, if you are not let me know and we will add you!

Lastly on Monday 22 February I was lucky enough to get hold of Carla Geneve. She met with my aspiring singer song writing musicians and spoke about her experiences in the music industry. Later at lunch time Carla performed a set. It was a fantastic opportunity for all involved!

We have much to look forward to this year with music camp, concerts and events so stay posted!

Many thanks

Director of Music
