CLASS MUSIC  

K- 6 classes at Dobroyd Point enjoy a weekly lesson with a Specialist Music Teacher. Students learn simple songs,use rhythmic percussion,recorders, develop movement,listening and notation skills.The emphasis is on group work and participation in class ensembles.

K-6 Music Assemblies showcase Stage items and music ensembles and provide an opportunity to extend performance skills and stagecraft.

Students from Year 1 to Year 6 will be learning to play the Descant RECORDER in music class.

Parents & Carers are encouraged to provide their child with their own instrument, labelled clearly. They can be stored between classes in the convenient and luxury Recorder Hotel in the Hall.Cost for a good plastic recorder is from $12 in local Music Shops.
