Hello and welcome back to St Hilda’s Music for 2021!
Our musicians from Years 4-12 have already worked with enthusiasm during Sing Out held on the first weekend of the year, where they had the opportunity to sing together, and perform their first concert for an appreciative audience of parents and friends. String Ensembles, Senza Ragazzi, Big Band and R & B Band have also had their first rehearsals. What an excellent start to the year!
All students should receive at least their first lesson during Week 3 (8-12 Feb). If your daughter has not yet received a lesson time and you have completed an Enrolment Form, accepted Terms and Conditions and completed payment of Semester 1 fees on Parent Lounge, please contact Mrs Julie Haines-Gould in Senior Music Administration on 5577 7235.
Parents and students are reminded that even if continuing lessons from last year, all girls must submit a new “Extra Subject – Music” Enrolment at the start of each year in order to ensure a lesson time is allocated to them. Please note that advance payment of fees for each semester is required before lessons can commence. A link to the enrolment form is available on the School Website under Parent Resources.
All Choirs and Instrumental Ensembles will have commenced their rehearsals by 10 Feburary. The times and days for rehearsals are noted below. To get your daughter involved in music ensembles, please accept the invitation to join music ensembles on Parent Lounge. It is never too late to join a music ensemble, so please encourage you daughter to attend.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land and their care of it for thousands of years. Open to the Spirit who has ever been present here, we resolve to appreciate its beauty, to be wise stewards of its resources, and to honour the connection the traditional custodians, the Kombumerri from the Yugambeh Nation, have with this land.
