Knowing the great benefits to children's development that learning an instrument can give, Wollondilly are pleased to welcome Polly, Geoff and Miriam to our school to offer private music lessons to our students. Last week, every class from K-6 had the opportunity to meet Polly and were fortunate to participate in a fun and interactive music session with her, where they learnt about the guitar and enjoyed a range of activities.
Polly's Guitar and Vocal School
My name is Polly, I am a former student of this school & have been given the opportunity to come back and bring the music to all aspiring, young guitarists and singers. I have been teaching and playing on stage for a number of years in such locations as Sydney, London and Europe to name a few. Guitar lessons If your child has a guitar, I encourage them to bring it to school for their lesson. If your student does not yet own a guitar &/or wanting to try out lessons prior to committing, I will happily supply a suitable guitar for each lesson. Vocal Lessons Vocal lessons cover a variety of techniques and styles. We learn how to sing in key, focusing on diction, posture, breathing and pitch. Cost is $25/half hour lesson, or $35/ 45 minute lesson ** SPECIAL** **$5.00 OFF 1st lesson + FREE signature plectrum (for guitarists) + A4 folder** For additional information and outstanding reviews Please visit https:// www.facebook.com/pollysrocknroll/ OR TEXT ONLY Polly's guitar and Vocal school on 0421 160 674.
Violin Lessons with Geoff
Is your child interested in learning the violin? The violin is one of the most popular and rewarding instruments to learn. Violin students learn to play a wide range of music including popular and classical tunes and can join together in orchestras and other ensembles to make music together. Students also develop high level fine motor skills and co-ordination whilst learning the violin. Lessons are also available for students interested in the viola, cello or double bass. Geoff Stewart-Richardson is a qualified professional violinist and violist with more than twenty years' experience playing and teaching. He is a former member of the Queensland and Canberra Symphony Orchestras and has been teaching at Wollondilly Public School since 2015. For information about lessons, costs and instrument hire, please contact Geoff on 0432 314 376 or mail@s-r.id.au.
Piano Lessons with Miriam
Piano tuition will be starting in Term 3 and be available for Yrs 3-6 students. Miriam Gilchrist has been teaching piano to children and adults in Goulburn for over 9 years. Miriam's aim is to create a fun and relaxed environment to ensure that students look forward to their tuition and enhance their learning potential. Yrs 6 students will have the option of choosing "Crash Chords" which is an accelerated course based on chord style playing rather than traditional music reading. This would suit students interested in playing in a band or with vocals. Cost is $25/half hour lesson. If you are interested or have any further enquiries, please give your details to Mrs Dunn and she will pass them on to Miriam.
