One of the unique opportunities for Junior students at Thomas Hassall is in Year 4, where every child is able to experience playing music for a year on a Concert Band instrument, including flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, euphonium and percussion.
For some students, this is their very first musical experience. After a great start to the year, the program shifted online, where the instrumental tutors would film weekly lessons for the students to watch whilst at home. When restrictions were eased at the beginning of Term 4, it was great to be able to finally play music again with all the Year 4 students. Despite the interruptions from COVID, the students have done very well this year and performed for the FIRST TIME this week to Year 3 students, who will participate in the program next year. It was a fantastic concert, which was also filmed, and parents will have the opportunity to see this later in the term. In the meantime, please enjoy these photos from the concert, and well done to all students. Thanks to parents for supporting this program during this challenging year.
