Working at the school and a revised list of items to inspire donations...

3/5/2017

​The work at the school is in two parts - making and playing. The kids have put forward a range of suggestions for a ‘musical fence’ between the school and the rec reserve. We are using the art room as our design and experimentation centre every lunch-time. We plan to strip a piano and use it as a resonator for fence wires... so stay tuned. On Fridays I get to see the whole school and we are learning new skills in group music making. Our new instruments and skills will be on show in a public concert so save the date - Thursday May 11.

Congratulations David and Susan in making available the Girgarre Music Supermarket. Such a unique idea to bring community together. Great job guys even though you Susan are having to sit it out in rehab but no doubt will escape for the opening! Bless you both
