Diana Springford – Head of Music

Welcome to our Music Matters page!

Here, and on our portal page, you will find announcements about our busy Music program, so please check in regularly. 

Music Competition

Thank you to those who submitted an entry for our Music Competition. At the end of Week 8, we’ll be in touch with everyone who submitted, to advise the outcome and to notify those who will be invited to perform at the Finals Concert (on the evening of Monday 4 April 2022 in Week 10).

Private Music Tuition and Infant Strings Program

Thank you to those who have already advised us of changes to private tuition and Infant Strings Program enrolments for next term via the online forms on our Music Portal Page. The deadline for new enrolments, notification of changes or intention to discontinue for Term 2, has now passed. All students currently receiving private music tuition and students in Years K-2 who are currently participating in the Infant Strings Program will be automatically re-enrolled into tutor schedules for Term 2 along with students commencing lessons for the first time. Please contact music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions.

The schedules for Term 2, 2022 will be created at the end of term and emailed during April term break.

The Extra-Curricular Music Program is now in full swing. At this link you will find the rehearsal schedule for all our ensembles and choirs. On the second tab of the spreadsheet, you will find ensemble descriptions and the level expected to join. Those interested in playing their instrument or singing as part of a group should get involved, especially if you want to be eligible for Music Camp in Term 2. If you are concerned that you have missed out, please look at the Extra-Curricular Music tile on the Portal. If this page doesn’t answer your questions, please email Ms Springford.
