The
Instrumental program at Brigidine is a great cocurricular activity to be a part
of. You can learn something brand new or pick up where you left off. Some areas
you can join include:
- Concert Band
- Reed Ensemble (Woodwind Ensemble)
- Percussion Ensemble
- String Ensemble
You might
have noticed the instrumental activities being promoted more and more this
year. This is because it is an awesome and crazy fun group!
Basically,
you can have lessons with the lovely instrumental teachers, learn outside of
school or just show up and jam out. If you are interested, you can also take
part in exams where you play your instrument, a little bit of singing and get
marked on some theory. But don't worry if that sounds absolutely terrifying,
it's optional!
There are
numerous groups to be a part of and if you can't make one, chances are there is
one really similar. Just for example, if you can't make it on Friday mornings
for percussion ensemble, hit up concert band on a Thursday afternoon!
In the
instrumental program, we go to various competitions with other schools and we
always have a whole lot of fun.
If you are
unsure on what instruments are available for hire or to learn at Brigidine,
here are a few:
- Piano
- Guitar
- Flute
- Clarinet / Bass Clarinet
- Saxophone / Tenor Saxophone
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Euphonium
- French Horn
- Violin
- Cello
- Percussion
- And if there is anything you are unsure of, don't be afraid to email any of the instrumental teachers.
I hope you
found this helpful and even if only one person who reads this found a new
interest, that's my job done!
