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. The deadline for new enrolments, notification of changes or intention to discontinue for Term 2 2020 is Friday 13 March 2020.
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 Term 2, along with students commencing lessons for the first time. Parents should enrol or discontinue using one of the online forms accessed from the links below. If your child intends to discontinue, formal notification in advance must be received by the end of term to avoid being committed to the full term of lessons and liable for fees.
Please contact Matilda Grieve by email to music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions.
The schedules for Term 2 2020 will be created at the end of term and emailed in late April 2020.

Save the date – Emanuel School Music Camp 2020
The annual Emanuel School Music Camp is a wonderful celebration of our vibrant music culture and the talents and hard work of our young musicians. Each camp is a special experience for students as they unite in a shared love of music and work together in the pursuit of excellence. Emanuel School music staff join with a team of highly skilled professional musicians to develop and hone students’ musical skills in preparation for an exciting showcase concert.
This three-day residential camp will take place in Week 9 of Term 2 from Monday 22 June 2020 and returning on the evening of Wednesday 24 June 2020, but continue with an all day rehearsal on Thursday 25 June 2020 and the Music Camp Showcase Concert in the Lehrer Family Building (MPH) on the Thursday evening.
All members of participating ensembles in Years 4 – 11 are expected to attend Music Camp at a cost of approximately $560.00. Attendance for Year 12 students is optional. Full details regarding Music Camp will be published in Ma Nishma in the coming weeks and emailed to parents, including the list of participating ensembles, the cost and the procedure for registering to attend.
This year we will be returning to Galston Gorge Conference & Recreation Centre, located on the edge of the Berowra Valley National Park, approximately one hour away from Emanuel School. The centre is set in hectares of natural bushland and will provide a private and peaceful environment for our students and staff, as well as excellent accommodation and rehearsal facilities. Students will be transported between school and the camp on privately chartered buses.
