Teacher: Mrs King
Welcome to the Music Program for 2018!
Welcome back to another musical
year at TRPS. Music will be full of
singing, dancing and the oppor-
tunity to learn to play musical in-
struments. Students will also get
to show off their musical talents
with some planned performances
throughout the year! Our lessons
will be full of interesting facts, as we
delve into the history of music
with some famous ‘old school’ composers such as Bach, as well as some well
known singer-songwriters. As always music theory and Warm-Ups are the basis
of all our music lessons.
Bring on the ukuleles!
This year the music room has been adorned
with colourful stringed ukuleles. The Year
Sixes will be the first to have the challenge
and privilege of learning this awesome
stringed instrument, followed by the Year
Fives a little later on in the year. These beauti-
ful instruments will broaden our musical rep-
ertoire and hopefully bring a little Hawaii into
the classroom. Our senior classes as well as
Year Four will continue with playing the recorder, helping the students consolidate
their reading of musical notes and theory. The younger year levels will begin their
musical journey with the glockenspiels as it directly correlates with the keys to the
piano and reinforces basic musical notation as well as other percussion instru-
ments. Students will also incorporate technology to create and record music.
Senior Dance Troupe will continue into its second year!

There will be a Senior Choir and a Junior Choir in 2018 that will be perform-
ing at different events throughout the
school year. Unfortunately, for our Senior
Choir WAGSMS has been cancelled due
to the unavailability of the Crown theatre
as a venue . WAGSMS was a huge suc-
cess last year with our choir demonstrat-
ing their best performance to date! An al-
ternative event to WAGSMS is currently
being investigated to fill the void. Both
Choirs will start the year off with a local
performance at the Sunset Markets,
Charnwood Park in April. I hope to see
you all there supporting the students.
The Senior Choir will be performing at
our usual school events including the
ANZAC Ceremony, and Graduation. We
will also have both Choirs performing at
the ‘Music of the Night’ Concert which is
now in it’s third year. The Junior Choir
will also perform at various events and
will continue to develop their vocal skills
ready for their transition to the Senior
Choir.
Music as always will be integrated with
other learning areas such as Poetry for
lyric writing, Math and Chinese. History
and Geography are made richer by learn-
ing the songs of that era and location
such as ANZAC day songs and Indige-
nous stories, instruments and music.
The Primary Music Institute will be
providing individual and group lessons again this year for keyboard and gui-
tar, and students will be able to showcase their talents in the ‘Music of the
Night’ concert.
