Diana Springford – Head of Music

Welcome back to Term 2

All music tuition and ensemble rehearsals have resumed this week, albeit in a different, online form. Schedules for Private Music Tuition and Infant Strings Program were emailed to parents. We use the same link for these schedules each term, so you should all be able to access them and bookmark your schedules on your device.  

• Instrument sundries: For those who need to stock up on replacement reeds, cleaning gear, strings, rosin and other bits and pieces, below are the website details for our local suppliers:

• • Sydney Band Instruments here    
  • Irwin Violins here 
  • Sax and Woodwind here    
  • Prestige Musical Instruments here      

• For Emanuel instruments needing repair, please email jdearaujo@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au with detailed information about the fault.

A note about new enrolments to ISP: In the case of the K-2 Infant Strings Program, we are regrettably unable to add new enrolments into the program during this period of online learning. As soon as the situation changes, we will let you know.

A note about new enrolments to Private Music Tuition: We will need to review on a case-by-case basis new requests to enrol into private instrumental or voice lessons. For example, it is necessary in the current online environment for the enrolling student to have access to the instrument which they wish to use for private tuition and new ventures in online private music tuition are more likely to succeed where the student has a pre-existing experience of learning with a tutor (e.g. the student has been learning the instrument in IP, or is resuming private lessons after a break). However, we are open minded, so please ask.

New enrolment requests for private tuition can be made here. 

Please contact Matilda Grieve by email to music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions.
