String Recital for students of Michael Brewer

Mazel Tov to the students of Michael Brewer who performed at the Strings Recital this week.  Thank you to Mr Brewer for organising this performance event for all of his students and the Mendelssohn Chamber Strings, as well as for his accompaniment of many of the pieces.  

Instrument collection after the Annual Stocktake and Maintenance Check

Thank you to students (and their parents) for bringing in all our Emanuel School instruments in for the annual maintenance check.  If your child has yet to collect their instrument from the Music Department, please ensure that they do so.  No instrument on loan to a student should be left on campus over the term break please.  If your child’s instrument has been sent away for repair, you should have received an email from your music tutor and a replacement loan instrument may have been organised.  Please contact Joanne De Araujo if you have any concerns: dearaujo@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

Private Music Tuition and Infant Strings Program

Please note that from 2019, the cost of individual private music lessons will be charged at a rate of $44.00 per half-hour lesson (plus GST, if the tutor is registered to pay GST). This is the rate advised by the NSW Music Teachers Association. Lessons shared in pairs will cost $23.00 per student per half-hour lesson (plus GST where applicable).  The Infant Strings Program (ISP) for students in Years K-2 will be charged at $255 per term on school fees, which includes the loan of an instrument.

Thank you to those who have already advised us of changes to private tuition and Infant Strings Program enrolments for next year.  The deadline for new enrolments, notification of changes or intention to discontinue for Term 1, 2019 has passed. All students currently receiving private music tuition and students in Years K-1 who are currently participating in the Infant Strings Program will be automatically re-enrolled into tutor schedules for 2019, along with students commencing lessons for the first time and are liable for fees.  Please contact Deborah Beder if you have any questions: music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au

The schedules for Term 1, 2019 will be created at the end of term and emailed in late January.
