Music update August 2012

Well, it's been a busy year for Prep School Music so far!

Instrumental Programme
The Grade 4 students began their instrumental lessons and are doing extremely well.

The Grade 5 Select Band Group students began their special focus classes on their instruments and are progressing quickly each week. They have begun performing as an ensemble and we hope they will form the beginning of a future orchestra here at St Georges, Quilmes.

Our grade 6 students are continuing their lessons and have been featuring in some performances in prep school assemblies.

Prep Musical - I'll Begin Again
The prep musical in June was a massive success. All children from grades 4, 5 and 6 took part in creating a unique play, which explored the theme of changing attitudes and helping those in need! Full of great acting, singing and dancing, all of the students did a wonderful job!



New Building
In August, we moved in to the top floor of the new prep building. Music now has a beautiful space, with two large teaching rooms, six practice rooms and a keyboard lab. We are still settling in, but the students seem to love the new area and lots of great music is being made everyday! Come and have a look whenever you like!

Infants Play In Progress
We are currently in full swing getting ready for the infants play in October. The play is based on a story about fables and features all of our students from Grades 1, 2 and 3. The students are learning the songs in music class, practicing the lines with their class teachers and working on the dancing at the moment. We are looking forward to seeing the children shine in the Theatre on the 11th and 12th of October!

There are lots of things happening as we prepare for Founders Day and Grade 5 and 6 performance tasks, so come back soon for more information! :)

Mr. Chris
