There are a number of performance opportunities we offer our students at Hills Shire Music. We showcase our students progress and the songs they have been learning throughout the year. They perform in a number of different ways including solo, group and band performances. Our teachers are there to help guide them and provide support as for many students it is their first time performing in front of an audience especially for our beginner students. We have regular performances each year for the different instruments that we teach. Our students gain confidence and improve every time they perform.
Other showcases have included Australia Day, Crestwood Fair, Kenthurst Christmas Carols and The Hills Christmas Lights Summer Series Spectacular amongst other events. Our concerts are not compulsory or necessary to enrol at our school but they do offer performance opportunities which is a great way to develop confidence and performance skills. This helps them develop their music learning skills and helps prepare students for exams as they are required to perform in front of the examiners.
Concerts:
1. Piano, Woodwind and Violin Concert – approx week 9 in term 3.
This is for our contemporary and classical students who have started learning with us and are keen to play their prepared songs including AMEB exam pieces in front of family, friends and other similar level students at a medium sized venue.
2. Piano, Guitars, Bass, Singers and Bands Concert – approx week 7 in term 4.
This concert is for our Piano, Contemporary and Band students who have progressed to a performance level or as a soloist. We also organise duets, trios and small groups depending on the student levels and teacher recommendations. It is a great concert with lots of fun and great performances.
3. Piano only Concert – approx week 9 in term 4.
With our ever increasing and very eager to learn and perform piano students we have a special piano only concert just for them!
All our performers at all our concerts receive a Certificate Of Performance which is very well deserved.
‘Thanks for organising the open mic night. My husband and I were very impressed with the Joanna’s performance and amazed at how confidently she presented herself. Bianca is a wonderful and inspiring teacher.”
