2019 has seen a positive start for the Music Department. There has been a significant increase in the number of students taking up Instrumental lessons here at the College. All of our tutors are experiencing greater student numbers and have been busy during the first two weeks of formal lessons. It was also pleasing to have some members of our Senior String Ensemble and Pacific Voices perform on the second day of school year at the Commencement Service. The level of performance was commendable given the lack of practice time. Congratulations also to Sam Henderson for performing a vocal solo at this service. The first week of term also saw some of our students perform at the Welcome Breakfast. Again, students from various year levels were willing to sing and play to entertain our families in order to add to a wonderful atmosphere.

All of our Ensembles began rehearsals this week. It has been a pleasing start with many new students joining these groups for the first time. However, there were many interruptions which may have led some students to forget the times of their group’s practices. Included this week is a copy of the Ensembles timetable. Hopefully we will have 100% attendance next week. I would encourage anyone who has any questions related to Instrumental Music to contact Mrs Williams (Head of Instrumental Music), or Mr Lake.
