In a blink of an eye, the end of term 1 has arrived. Students are settled into their ensemble rehearsals, group lessons and tuition at school.

Training Strings will commence their first ensemble rehearsals on Tuesday lunch time at the first week of Term 2. Please remind students that they will need to bring their instruments and be ready to go for 1255pm in the music room. It is advisable for the parents to provide a quick lunch, no canteen orders as the rehearsals will be commencing after roll call is taken.

Training Strings students will be provided a music folder which will have all their music they will need to learn for the year and these will need to be returned to Mr Mansukhani at the end of the year. Please ensure these folders are brought every week to rehearsals and are kept in good condition.

If you require to purchase a music bag, please let the instrument coordinator know.

Hope you all have an Happy Easter and relaxing school holidays.See you all refreshed for Term 2.
