Book Week 25th August

On the 25th August Students at Kerrimuir enjoyed rotations focusing on numeracy and literacy. In the music room students played percussion instruments, dressed up in costumes, sang and danced to the song "The Great Times Table Medley". All ages really enjoyed this activity!

Kerrimuir Choir 2011

 

Students in the Kerrimuir choir have been diligently and enthusiastically rehearsing and performing during Semester 1. The choir has sung in assemblies and at the Kerrimuir Fair, the latter was a particularly exciting experience for the girls. Rehearsals are held each Tuesday lunch-time where students participate in vocal warm-ups, singing known songs and learning/refining new songs.

Welcome to MUSIC with Mrs Pantling

First semester 2011 has been full of exciting music making and performances. Students have been singing, dancing, playing, creating and listening to a variety of music during lessons. Popular instruments in the music room are the drums, claves, glockenspiels and xylophones.

Oxfam Music Festival - 26th August 2010

On a cold Thursday night, our Senior Choir performed two songs at the Oxfam Music Festival, held at Blackburn High School.

The girls did a great job! They sang 'My Little Boat' and 'Bring it all back'. It was the largest audience they have performed for this year.



Thanks to all the parents, siblings and friends that came along to support the choir. It was also an opportunity to see what other schools do in their performances. Six primary schools performed on the night.
Oxfam is a great charity to support, so don't miss out on seeing some great performances in October, when there are another five concerts with different schools performing.

Apart from singing, there were also instrumental pieces and even a rock band!

Well done to all the girls that participated from Kerrimuir.

Some talented musicians ...

In the Music Room we sometimes have time for students to play on the piano or guitar. It's wonderful to hear how everyone is going with their instrumental lessons or what they like to play.

Here is a picture of some guitarists from P/1K - Luca, Che, Jamie and Lucas.

 We try to be good audience members as well as musicians, to show our appreciation. Well done everyone.
