Our new Nexus Instrumental Program has been a huge success with over 140 learners enrolled and number growing weekly. We have appointed extremely qualified and experienced music instrumental teachers and already we are witnessing our learners developing further as young musicians. As part of the instrumental program we promised to ensure that we continued to offer a range of performance opportunities. In our previous Newsletter I touched base regarding performing during Diversity week and links for enrolment were shared with learners and parents via the HUB. Additionally on the 31 October we will host our first Music Recitals in the Nexus Auditorium.
We are aiming for two Recitals. Primary 1.30-3pm and Secondary 4-5.30pm. However depending on numbers we may later have to split the Primary Recital. Learners are invited to perform on their instrument of choice a piece of music which they are currently preparing with the support of their instrumental teacher. If you are interested in your child performing please follow these important steps.
1. Contact your child's instrumental teacher to ascertain if they are ready and prepared.
2. Finalise the music.
3. Instrumental tutors enrol each learner.
If your child does not participate in the Nexus Instrumental Program however they are still interested to perform please address your interest by contacting us at music@nexus.edu.sg
Our annual Secondary Ensembles Concert is on Wednesday 23 October. This year all our music has been selected to coincide with it being 50 years ago since Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. This year, in 2019, Nexus are proud to celebrate this event by placing our own fantastic musicians on the Nexus Stage (all 150 of them) - including the Secondary Orchestra, Year 10 IGCSE Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, Secondary Choir, Chamber Choir and all of Year 8.
All music has been intended to reflect the Moon, so expect great songs including 'Fly Me To The Moon', 'Moondance', 'Blue Moon' and many more to get your foot tapping! Our concert begins at 6.30pm in the Auditorium however you will need to be in school from 6.00pm. This event is ticketed and further details will be sent via our school marketing department. Please invite your family and friends to come as it promises to be a fabulous evening of music, dance and fun!
