Links to online forms for Term 4 enrolments and discontinuations

• New enrolment requests for private tuition
• To discontinue private tuition
  
• To enrol into the Infant Strings Program (ISP)
  
• To discontinue Infant Strings Program (ISP)

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 4 has now passed. 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. If your child intends to discontinue, please act swiftly to provide formal notification in advance to avoid being committed to the full term of lessons and liable for fees.

Please contact Matilda Grieve: music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions about private music tuition.  The schedules for Term 4 2020 will be created at the end of term and emailed in October. 

Bring your own mask to Music please!

We are asking all our music students in the following groups to please bring their own reusable masks. To make our practices as COVID safe as possible, we are ensuring that, if there is a person singing or playing a wind instrument in a room, that they are behind one of our fabulous Perspex screens and everyone else in the room is wearing a face mask. If you bring your own it’s more comfortable, stylish, and there is less environmental waste.

• IP wind groups
• Years 7 – 8 Music classes
• Years 9 – 12 Elective Music classes

Bring your own ear-pods or headphones to Music please!

We are asking all of the following Music students to please keep a set of their own ear-pods or headphones in your laptop cases. We would prefer them to be wired rather than wireless (Bluetooth) as the lag with the wireless option is difficult with music. We want to be extra COVID-safe by avoiding the sharing of headphones.

Farewell Mick Hart

Many of you would have met one of our lovely guitar tutors, Mick Hart. Mick died last week, and we are so very sad about this. He was a lovely man, very humble considering his amazing career achievements, and a kind, caring and reliable guitar teacher. He was a true gigging musician, and a creative and prolific song writer. We will miss having him around.
