Music at Nexus enjoyed participating in the variety of Chinese New Year events with our musicians last week. Mr Chris and Ms Tash led two days of workshops based on Chinese drumming and Chinese traditional fan dancing with learners across the Primary School. Within the music department we had a display of traditional Chinese instruments for our learners to view as they came for their music sessions.

In addition, on Wednesday morning this week, our parents and learners were welcomed to school with our 'Lessons without Walls' series with a focus on Chinese music. Along the Level 2 walkway, 9W were practising their Chinese drumming routine led by Ms Clare and at the Eco Cafe a number of our learners celebrated their tradition by performing on Chinese instruments or playing Chinese music on western instruments.

From the Music department, we wish our Nexus families Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Nexus Beats is non-competitive and open to all musicians from Year 6 to 13. It usually showcases our school rock bands and solo singers however we also welcome performers from other performing arts, such as Dancers, Rappers, DJ's etc. as well as poster designers and a backstage crew.

This year’s concert will take place on towards the end of term and, like last year, it will be streamed live on social media.

Our Year 1 and 2 learners have been super excited about the opening of the Tree House at Nexus. In Music, some learners took part in decorating a Music Wall to be part of the Tree House - up-cycling old instruments by planting seeds as well as mini trees. We hope you spotted it during your visit.
