Rachel Viner | Instrumental Music Teacher

Term 1 has been a busy one with our 20 new beginners starting their new instruments.They are starting to develop a great sound and are working on learning their first 5 notes and songs that include these notes.  

Practice often rather than once a week!

Playing more often in short spurts (15- 30minutes) is very import for young musicians, helping them remember skills, such as fingers, building their instrument, lining up their reed, buzzing etc. Having that one playing session on a Sunday afternoon can be tiring, and students may forget tasks If they leave practice to once a week. 

SCIMEP Auditions

In term 2 many players with 2 years or more experience will be nominated to attend SCIMEP.  The Sunshine Coast Instrumental Music Ensembles Program. This will require learning audition pieces that we record at School and send in. If your child is successful, they will be asked to attend SCIMEP in August. This is a 1 or 2 day Workshop.

Have a great Easter and don't forget to play a tune or 2 over the break, to entertain your friends and family! Musical play dates and fun books are great ways to encourage our young musicians.
