Diana Springford – Head of Music

Making music an incredible way

If you have not yet done so, please listen to our Copland Concert Band’s exciting performance of The Incredibles theme, by Michael Giacchino, arranged and conducted by Mr Remi Owen with support from Mr Eamon Penner-Dilworth. Due to the restrictions of COVID-19, this ensemble has needed to rehearse in sectional groups spread out over many rooms, under the direction of both teachers.

Thank you to both of them for the enormous amount of work that went into the preparation of our musicians and the editing of video and sound in order to produce such a polished result.

Ensembles and choirs

All ensembles will resume from Tuesday 21 July 2020 (the first day of Term 3 for students). We are delighted that choirs can also resume from Term 3. Should there be any change to the advice on this, we will let you know via email during the holidays. Please note, rehearsals will revert to their original times, as per the schedule.

Private Tuition and Infant Strings Program

All tuition has now returned to normal with lessons live and onsite. Music tutors no longer have Zoom accounts and many Music rooms are without Wi-Fi. We can no longer auspice Zoom lessons for private music tuition.

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 3 was in early June. If you would like to enrol, we can’t promise anything, but please email music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au and we will see what we can organise. It’s certainly too late to discontinue. All students currently receiving private music tuition and ISP will be automatically re-enrolled into tutor schedules for next term along with students commencing lessons for the first time. 

Please contact Matilda Grieveo if you have any questions about private music tuition.   

The schedules for Term 3, 2020 will be created at the end of term and emailed in July.
