On the Tuesday evening of Week 8, the five Year 7 Music classes came together to perform for their family and friends, with each class performing as an ensemble, followed by duet and small group performances. The concert also included a performance by the Continuers Band, an ensemble comprising of students who had been part of the Immersion Program in the past. At the conclusion of the concert, all five classes performed an item together, producing a fantastic and energetic sound!

The concert was the culmination of the work done by all the classes during the Band Program, part of the Year 7 Music Course. In this program, students choose a woodwind or brass instrument and receive weekly tuition in a small group with a specialist instrumental tutor. They also come together with their class to form an ensemble.

This program provided an opportunity for Year 7 students to experience learning an instrument as part of the curriculum, and integrating listening, theory and reflection within the context of performance.

We congratulate all the students who performed and thank the Instrumental Tutors and Year 7 Music teachers who joined them on the night.

The following Sunday, the Music Department were excited to host the SAC Sunday Soirée, with three concerts featuring various instrumental and singing performances from a selection of our private music tuition students. This was an opportunity for students to perform the repertoire they had been working on with their tutors, and to share their music with parents, family and friends. Participation in the Soirée provided students with invaluable performance experience and a chance for them to be applauded for all their hard work and practice.

It was wonderful to see the depth of up-coming talent with the junior and middle-school year levels. Congratulations to all involved!
