Private Music Tuition and Music Ensembles Program

The Halls Are Alive With The Sound of Music

Throughout the Parkes Building on the Junior Campus and the Music Centre on the Senior Campus this week, the hallways and classrooms have been buzzing with the sounds of music-making. As part of the students return to On-Campus Learning, Music students from Kindergarten to Yr 12 have transitioned back to their Private Music Tuition classes with their Music tutors after many weeks of online Music lessons.

Instrumental Music Ensembles have also resumed in the Secondary School, with a range of smaller group settings and sectional rehearsals for Guitar Ensembles, Strings Ensembles, Concert Bands and Jazz Bands. It is important to note, that all Choral and Group singing experiences are currently under review and these sessions will continue to be delivered and resourced through our online platforms, where students will engage independently with provided resources and instruction materials.

Hygiene in the Music Setting

As part of our return to group settings, this has been a well-considered aspect of our planning and students involved in group instruction will follow the guidelines through the spreading out of rehearsals, utilising larger areas and outdoor learning spaces to promote distancing, where possible. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of musical equipment and resources will be undertaken daily.

Academic Music

The Department remains committed to supporting the Yr 12 Higher School Certificate and International Baccalaureate courses as students prepare for all major practical works and assessments. We will continue to provide access to tuition rooms when available for independent practising and composing. Session times can be booked directly through Music Administration by emailing seniormusic@redlands.nsw.edu.au

Extra Subjects Music (Individual Tuition and Groups)

For the delivery of Private Music instruction, individual lessons return to the original four week rotational schedules issued in Term 1. Please be advised that all recently issued temporary Remote Learning Schedules are now obsolete.
