It has been fantastic returning to another term of music-making. The students have been showcasing their exceptional talent and passion for music, exploring various elements with enthusiasm and creativity. 

The initial focus has been on movement, improvisation, body percussion, and vocal ensemble work. The students have crafted improvised movements to classical musical pieces, incorporating contemporary dance elements, resulting in creative and imaginative performances. 

In addition to their movement improvisations, students have also crafted body percussion compositions set to speech rhymes. These compositions were performed in harmonious canon, resulting in diverse and rhythmically rich musical arrangements. 

I would also like to extend my congratulations to our choir members for their progress and hard work in preparing for the upcoming One Big Voice choir festival. Their dedication to learning vocal parts and choreography has been commendable, and I am confident they will shine brightly at the event. 

Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the parents for bringing their children to choir early for the second rehearsal; your support in your child's musical education is greatly appreciated! 

Equally, I would like to congratulate our clarinet students for their fantastic performance last term, which delighted the Pre-Primary cohort. Their musical abilities and dedication to their instrument have been impressive.
