We’ve had a cracking start to Semester 2!

After 5 rehearsals you should all be finished “learning your notes” so you can begin working on the fine details and musicality in your rehearsals. Please make sure you practice your music at home and take your part to your instrumental teacher during the week to work on those more difficult sections. This isn’t easy repertoire so please practice between rehearsals.

One of the best ways to learn new music is to listen to lots of recordings. I’ve made a Spotify playlist of your repertoire to get your started.

• After the concert, the percussionists are also required to travel back to WAAPA and assist unloading the percussion.
