MUSICA VIVA IN SCHOOLS “WYNISS” ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCE

Musica Viva ‘Wyniss’ performance ensemble engaged and amazed our young Prep to Year Six students on Wednesday 3 September with a vibrant performance showcasing traditional music, dances, instruments, games, storytelling and cultural sharing.  Enjoy reading below paragraphs from participating audience members and photos taken from this special performance opportunity.

This was a very interesting experience to watch, every performance was amazing!  The songs were also great!  It was fun when we got to join in dancing and singing songs with the Wyniss ensemble.  I also enjoyed how they taught us to make things with string and other materials.  Overall this was an amazing experience!  I hope they come back again!

I believe that the performance was amazing!  It was so funny how Neville, one of the Wyniss performers, was making funny reactions.  It was nice how they talked to us about their culture.  I learnt new instruments and new ideas to make using a piece of string.  In my opinion I think it was 5/5 stars.  Thank you!

NORTHSIDE BEGINNER BAND BLITZ & NORTHSIDE JUNIOR STRING WORKSHOP

This week, Beginner Woodwind/Brass/Percussion students and selected second year string students had the amazing opportunity to attend the Northside Beginner Band Blitz Workshop and the Northside Junior Strings Workshop, immersing themselves in the world of instrumental music.  Congratulations students, we hope you are inspired and loved participating in these extra-curricular musical activities. 

Our beginner band students enjoyed a wonderful day of music making on Tuesday at Band Blitz. Here are a few comments from our students from the day.

• I probably enjoyed the concert the most because a lot of people were watching us. My favourite song was Gallant March.
• My favourite part of the day was everything!
• Band Blitz was great. The best part was the concert. I kept getting the notes wrong, but eventually I got it!
• My favourite song was Gallant March. I really liked learning the different ways the conductors conduct each piece. I liked when the preppies and the parents listened to our concert.
• My favourite thing was playing songs with new friends.
