Congratulations to Kye Arnot (Year 12 Orange) and Celeste Tisbury (Year 12 Green) who performed at the inaugural Live Music @ Catherine's Cafe on Tuesday 21 February. Thank you also to Primrose Dillon, the 2023 Music Prefect, who added her moral and technical support to the event.

Kye and Celeste, pictured during rehearsals, sang and played a mixed set of beautifully performed solos, duets, cover songs and originals to the public and our regular customers, further enhancing the wonderful service Catherine's Cafe provides to the Lilydale community by sharing the gift of music.

Live Music @ Catherine's Cafe is a new initiative and, as such, it is an opportunity that not only serves our community by creating a musically entertaining and calming environment, but one which also extends our students' performance experience in the real world.

Live Music @ Catherine's Cafe is now a regular fixture throughout Term 1 and students interested in performing are encouraged to contact me.

Year 7 Instrumental Music

This semester's Instrumental Music program in Year 7 is dedicated to learning a woodwind or brass instrument. Students have been allocated either a flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet or trombone which they will learn for the remainder of the semester, with the goal of participating and performing in a class ensemble.

Each student is to be commended on their enthusiastic achievement on their individual instruments thus far and have the option of continuing private or small group lessons at the end of the semester.
