The Year 7 Classroom Instrumental Music program has continued in Term 4, introducing the woodwind and brass instruments to our Semester 2 cohort.

As part of the Year 7 Music curriculum, students have the opportunity to learn a woodwind or brass instrument for the semester under specialist instrumental tuition. Pictured above are students from 7 Orange during their classroom Music lesson — Jack W, Jacob G, Diesel R, Nate E, Brodie M and Alex K.

For those students who have shown an interest in taking up the instrument at Year 8, group lessons and ensemble participation will be offered. Parents and guardians are encouraged to please contact me directly if your son or daughter has expressed interest in continuing Instrumental Music lessons on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet or trombone.

VET Music students

The Music department also congratulates our second-year VCE VET Music Performance students on their preparation and effort in the lead-up to their final solo recitals, which were held on Saturday 21 October. Pictured are VET students from MLMC Taj R (far right) and Schemaiah P, along with Caitlyn H (Upper Yarra Hills Secondary College) and Thomas M (Lilydale High School).

Instrumental Music scholarships are now open. Details on how students can apply are in the For parents — Information and reminders article in today's newsletter.
