Staying connected through music

A key learning from the challenges of 2020 has been music has the power to bring everyone together – even when we’re far apart!

Music continues to be a vibrant part of the fabric of our School, with Co-Curricular Music (instrumental lessons, choirs and ensembles) working hand-in-hand with the Classroom Music program.

In 2020, over 400 boys participated in instrumental lessons each week, with online lessons proving to be very successful, especially in terms of forging the three-cornered partnerships between the boys, parents and instrumental staff.

Boys in the Junior and Secondary Schools participated in many virtual concerts throughout the year. A number of ensembles have continued to run including percussion ensembles, string chamber groups and selected choral ensembles.

Boys, parents and staff also participated in three virtual choir videos – On This Very Special Day for Mother’s Day, Wilson House Song for the Junior School and We Belong, which featured over 200 families from the School community joining together in song.
