Diana Springford – Head of Music

We’ve hit the ground running in Term 2! All aspects of music tuition have resumed from the first day of term.

Rehearsals for ensembles and choirs, weekly Instrumental Program (IP) for Years 3-6 and the Infant Strings Program for K-2 have all commenced. Private music tuition has resumed, and schedules have all been emailed to parents. Any queries about private music tuition should be emailed to Matilda Grieve.  

Don’t forget to book for Music Camp!

An information letter about Music Camp and how to book has been emailed to parents and students from Years 4-12 music ensembles and choirs. If you are concerned that you have not received this information, please contact Joanne De Araujo.  

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.

Music Camp is a four-day camp from Monday 7 June 2021 – Thursday 10 June 2021. The first three days are held at Lake Macquarie Outdoor Recreation Centre in Balcolyn and the final day is held at school. Students return to Emanuel on the evening of Wednesday 9 June 2021, to be collected by parents in the early evening. Camp continues on Thursday 10 June 2021 with an all-day rehearsal, a BBQ dinner for students and our Music Camp Showcase Concert in the MPH on the Thursday evening.

Ensembles and choirs

We have room in many of our ensembles and choirs and they are now in full swing. Those interested in playing their instrument or singing as part of a group should get involved. Here is a link to our list of ensembles and choirs. There truly is something for everyone. Only students in our ensembles and choirs may attend Music Camp in June so join now if you want to come along.
