Music Opportunities
Under the direction of our classroom music teachers, Jason Day and Lesley Cromer, our music program continues to explore new directions in the classroom and for extra-curricular ensemble opportunities.
The music program maintains a Kodaly focus, using tuned and non-tuned percussion instruments along with song and movement elements. Students are also introduced to ukuleles and digital music composition.
Students in Year 2 have the opportunity to join a Strings program, occasionally forming an ensemble to perform at school assemblies and other presentation opportunities.
Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 have opportunities to become involved in our school choir and a Percussion Ensemble where they explore more advanced ensemble music-making and are encouraged to perform both within the school and in the wider community.
The Choir is facilitated by Mr Day, our music teacher.
The Strings program is facilitated by Clare Zabrowarny.
The Percussion Ensemble is facilitated by William Foster
