Music

Music Rocks at Olinda!!

We have a well equipped music resource room within our Performing Arts Centre to offer weekly music classes where children engage in a range of musical experiences such as:

  • instrumental play
  • body percussion activities
  • instrument design and building
  • music history
  • music games
  • performance
  • digital learning on iPads, Interactive Whiteboard lessons
  • movement to music, and
  • singing and voice technique.

 

A group of students meet weekly in a lunchtime singing group which helps to build social and performance confidence.

We also offer instrumental classes in piano and violin taught by an experienced and valued member of our local community.
