FiddlerPerforming Arts at Catholic Ladies' College

Students at CLC have a wonderful opportunity to experience a wide variety of Performing Arts programs throughout their years at the college. State of the art software is available to instrumental teachers and in the mainstream classroom programs.

 

 

Year 7 Instrumental Program

Commencing in Year 7, all students undertake the study of an orchestral and/or keyboard instrument within their compulsory class program. This year, two of the five classes study either Violin or Keyboard/Percussion and three classes are participating in the practical study of a Brass, Woodwind or Percussion instrument within a comprehensive and balanced program utilising the very successful Standard of Excellence band method. The College provides and maintains all instruments and tutor books.

 

Year 8

In Year 8 students further develop practical musicianship through either Guitar or Keyboard/Percussion classes. The study of Music alternates with the study of Drama each semester.

Guitars

 

Years 9 & 10

At Years' 9 & 10 students may choose from a wide variety of semester-based subjects including: -

  • Music Workshop (Our preferred 'pathway' for VCE music studies)
  • Music of Stage and Screen
  • Creative Songwriting
  • Creating Dance
  • Dramatic Expression
  • Drama Makes Meaning

 

VCE

Music Performance units 1-4 and Drama units 1-4 are offered at VCE level in 2003.

 

CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM

2005 is proving to be an exciting one for the development of the Choir and Orchestra, both in terms of rehearsal times, additional resources and performance opportunities. With the support of the Performing Arts Committee, which includes representatives from each of the four main areas of Orchestra, Choir, Dance and Drama,Fiddler on the Roof under the leadership of the Performing Arts Captain and Staff, many new plans are being discussed to increase concert and performance opportunities.

Along with regular performing groups such as Chamber Choir, Orchestra and Flute Ensemble, lunchtime Dance and Drama groups are on offer this year as well as a new Keyboard Class.

 

Productions

Each year CLC proudly presents a whole school production in the Plenty Ranges Arts & Convention Centre theatre. Auditions: All girls are invited to participate in auditions early in Term 1 with rehearsals in Term 2. A very popular and successful aspect of our show preparation is the Production Camp held at Old Castlemaine Gaol in July, which involves all members of the cast, orchestra and crew.

 

PRIVATE MUSIC - OPTIONAL CLASSES

Lessons in voice, piano, electric and classical guitar and a full range of orchestral instruments are available to all students at very competitive rates. The College also provides a low-cost instrument hire program to enable students to continue their musical studies within the Private Instrumental Teaching program.
