PERFORMING ARTS

The Performing Arts is a specialist subject at our school with Jodie Bartlett. Jodie offers a wide range of skills and experiences across the spectrum of Performing Arts, including Music and Drama.
 
Classroom Performing Arts Program

Students are provided with many varied opportunities to develop their skills and knowledge in Music and Drama.  In their expressive arts lessons, students are offered learning experiences that involve movement, drama, speech, singing and instrumental work.  

They are given the opportunity to:
  • create, make and perform
  • critique peer and professional performances
  • experience a wide range of genres
  • learn about the history of performing arts.

Students are given opportunities to develop their musical and dramatic skills whilst also improving their teamwork, performance and audience skills.
 
In addition to the Classroom Performing Arts program, students may be able to participate in any of the following programs:
 
Instrumental Music

The school offers private instrumental tuition in piano, guitar and violin or viola. We also have access to Brass (Trumpet and Trombone) and Woodwind (Flute, Clarinet and Saxophone) lessons through the Blackwood High School which is situated right next door.
Currently, over 80 students learn a musical instrument at school. Students get the opportunity to perform at assemblies and later in the year at our Instrumental Showcase Evening
 
The Senior Choir

The Senior Choir performs at the "Festival of Music", at whole school events and within the wider community.  It is composed of interested and committed year 5-6 students.  Our aim is to produce a choir of the highest standard possible where EVERY student who works hard and enthusiastically is able to participate. Blackwood Primary School is allocated student places in the Festival of Music Concert Series each year. Students learn a wide variety of songs, vocal warm-ups and singing skills.  There are opportunities for students to solo, along with singing in unison and in parts.
 
The Middle Primary Choir 

The Middle Primary Choir is composed of all year 3 and 4 students.  They rehearse every fortnight and aim to perform at assemblies, whole school events and within the wider community.  Students learn a wide variety of songs, vocal warm-ups and singing skills.  There are opportunities for students to solo, along with singing in unison and in parts. Many of their songs are accompanied with choreography or are dramatised.
 
 
Big Sing

Every fortnight, the Junior Primary classes attend ‘Big Sing’ for an afternoon of singing, movement, dance and games.  Students experience the joy of being part of a large ensemble and begin to learn about audience manners, performance skills and basic choral techniques.  They have the opportunity to showcase their learning to each other and they perform at our school assemblies during the year.
