Year 4 Band Program in full Swing
One of the great opportunities offered in our Junior School is the YEAR 4 BAND PROGRAM. All students in Year 4 receive an instrument to learn throughout the year, under the tuition and direction of professional musicians. Although running this program from home is challenging, many students are doing well and giving it a great go, following their weekly tasks and uploading their performances. Their tutors then watch these videos and provide written feedback for students to implement in their future practices.
The students are also completing music theory tasks once a week with their high-school music teachers Miss Rapisarda and Mr Wong. Thanks very much to the Year 4 classroom teachers and all Year 4 parents for supporting this program during blended learning.
It is our hope to return to College again soon so that all students can reunite and form their Year 4 Concert Band to make music together again. Attached are some screenshots of students practicing at home.
