2022 Music Concert

by

On Thursday 20 October, we held our highly successful 2022 Music Concert. We had more than 190 music students perform throughout the evening (fourteen school ensembles total), and our large audience was treated to a wide variety of musical styles.
A huge thank you to the music students, as well as the friends and family who joined us in the audience, for making the night a great success!

The band is in full swing at Music Camp!

We have been very blessed this morning to have a visit from Dr Paul De Cinque (Chair of Brass and Music Education) and Dr Alan Lourens (Head lecturer of Music) from the UWA Conservatorium of Music. Paul and Alan circulated through our rehearsals, stepping in to lead our wind ensembles, bestowing upon them some of his highly acclaimed knowledge and musical wisdom. Advice from industry specialists of such stature and high calibre is incredibly beneficial for our young musicians and the difference it made to their sound was instantly noticeable.

A Visit from UWA Conservatorium of Music ’s Chair of Brass and Music Education

by

Yesterday our brass students were treated to a workshop with the UWA Conservatorium of Music ’s Chair of Brass and Music Education, Dr Paul De Cinque. His teaching role at the Conservatorium includes teaching in the trumpet studio, teaching classes in brass studies, aural skills and community music, as well as conducting the Wind Orchestra, Brass Ensemble, and Trumpet Choir.
Our students played through their Brass Ensemble repertoire, receiving feedback and guidance from Dr De Cinque, along with some helpful tips for developing their technique. Dr De Cinque also spoke with the students about future pathways, opportunities and doors that could be opened to them in the future as musicians. We thank UWA’s Conservatorium of Music for this valuable opportunity.
