Diana Springford – Head of Music

Welcome to our Music Matters page! 🎶

Here you will find announcements about our busy Music Program –  please check this on a weekly basis. 

The Extra-Curricular Music Program is now in full swing. 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.

 

On the Portal Music page you will find information about:

  • Private Music Tuition (beginning and discontinuing)
  • Ensemble and Choir membership for K-12 students
  • Infant Strings Program (ISP) for K-2
  • Performance opportunities
  • Borrowing an orchestral instrument

Please check out the information about our new Term 1 Music Competition. Every entry receives House points, whether you are in Primary or High School. One can enter the practice competition, the performance competition, the composition competition or even all three. Get involved!

A note of caution 

It has come to our attention that a discount supermarket chain is having periodic special sales of musical instruments. We have found that these instruments often contain parts that are sensitive to bending and breaking. Not only do they need repairs more often than standard instrument brands, they often cost more to fix than they do to purchase! However, you may find music stands that are on sale are a useful investment.
