Narara Public School has a full program of music education planned for students throughout 2017.
Ms Kerryn Cooper has joined the staff as a new music teacher and the school’s two bands were due to have their first full rehearsal in the week commencing Monday, February 27.
Stage 2 and 3 students also have the opportunity to join a recorder ensemble.
Recorders are inexpensive, virtually indestructible and they are a wonderful stepping stone to other instruments.
“If played properly, they sound lovely,” Ms Cooper said.
The school also has a number of places at the Festival of Instrumental Music (Opera House recorder concert) during the year.
“This incredible concert features hundreds of recorder players from schools around NSW,” she said.
‘It showcases some of the best school bands in the state, such as the State Wind Band, amazing jazz bands, and the Fort Street Percussion Ensemble.
“It is a great chance for young musicians to see just what’s possible if they want to take their music further,” she said.
