PERFORMING ARTS DEPARTMENT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TEAM - 2016 at King’S We Have a Dynamic Instrumental Music Program Incorporating a Wide Variety of Instruments PERFORMING ARTS DEPARTMENT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TEAM - 2016 At King’s we have a dynamic Instrumental Music program incorporating a wide variety of instruments. Lessons are conducted during the school day and cater for beginners through to experienced musicians. Tuition is available in small groups and individually in Woodwind, Strings, Brass and Percussion as well as Piano, Guitar and Voice. Students also have the opportunity to join one of our Bands or Orchestras. Music is definitely alive and flourishing at King’s and we welcome all enquiries from budding musicians. Music tuition benefits children in so many ways. It improves memory, can lift academic outcomes, builds confidence and encourages self-expression. Enrolment forms are available from the college website, from any of the college offices or by contacting Mrs Gillian Hamer at [email protected] http://www.kingscollege.qld.edu.au/about-kings/extra-curricular/instrumental-music Catherine Lee—Cello & Double Bass Teacher I completed a Bachelor of Music in performance (though at the Queensland Conservatorium in Cello). I play a few instruments, including the alto saxophone (which I teach and have a diploma in) as well as piano and my favourite part of the week during high school was the show choir. I started my cello studies in the school music program in year 3 and continued private lessons and orchestras as a side to all my many interests at the time. Some great motivations and fondest musical memories came from my participation in the Gold Coast Youth Orchestras and then the Queensland Youth Orchestras. I worked my way steadily up the tiers in AMEB grades and the orchestras and the progression lead me in year 12 to be fit for the Conservatorium despite it never being a career option I considered. I must admit I never thought I'd become a teacher or a musician for a career but it's the most beautiful and rewarding thing in the world, I am so grateful I ended up where I am in a place where I can be creative, and inspire the future leaders of the world! If we can teach them to make music, appreciate art and be harmonious together- the world will surely be a better place! Danny Lee—Percussion Teacher Danny has been engaged in music since the very early stage of his life when he began playing drums in his church band. His deep interest in drums and percussion dictated his life throughout his teenage years, allowing his to perform in various bands and jazz ensembles. In 2008,Danny was accepted into The University of Queensland to study percussion with Michael Askill and Tom O’Kelly. After finishing the degree he continues to learn, perform and teach drums. Currently, Danny is busy with his teaching at various number of schools. His students range from primary school students to those who are mature adults. He loves the process of providing the young students with musical training and seeing them gradually develop to their potential. Danny is open to a wide range of music which includes pop, rock, Latin, jazz, funk, classical and many more. Eddie Bray—Woodwind Teacher Eddie Bray served as a professional musician for 20 years with the Australian Defence Force Bands. A Sergeant in the Australian Army Band and as a Petty Officer with the Royal Australian Navy Band. His career included postings in Australia & New Zealand. A career highlight was his posting to the prestigious Australian Defence Force School of Music as the Saxophone & Clarinet Woodwind Specialist Teacher. For " Outstanding service to the Band of the Royal Military College Duntroon Canberra, Eddie was awarded an Australia Day Medallion ". With more than 2000 gigs to his credit along with numerous CD recordings and TV commercial performances, Eddie has also toured and performed with many artists such as; James Morrison, Don Burrows, Margaret Urlich NZ, Grace Knight, Jon English, Tina Arena....just to name a few. With his ability to double on Sax, Clarinet & Flute, Eddie has been in demand performing for many professional musical productions around the country. Two consecutive professional seasons of Les Miserables being a highlight. Eddie has also performed as a soloist with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra under Conductor Richard Bonynge AC, CBE. At the core of Eddie's teaching philosophy is equal imparting of knowledge to any student who has the desire to learn, and to make students aware that they must transform this knowledge through further investigation to enable creation of their own musical voice. Eddie is currently employed at King's Christian College as the specialist Woodwind teacher and Conductor of the Senior " Vivace " Concert Band, and Junior " Allegro " Band. A recent highlight was performing for the highly successful College Musical " The Wiz ". Eddie was thrilled to perform alongside students, ex-students and staff. Eddie is currently playing in two Brisbane based bands, and recently performed at the Brisbane Jazz Club. A keen surfer too, Eddie loves to surf on the beautiful Gold Coast. Kylie Guthrig—Strings Teacher KYLIE GUTHRIG (formally Bartsch), violinist and pianist, has won numerous prizes and scholarships for performance, including the Baldwin National Keyboard Competition and the Don Maynard Prize for Matriculation Music (awarded to the highest candidate in South Australia). Kylie holds a Bachelor of Music (Performance) degree and a Graduate Diploma in Education from the University of Adelaide. She also has extensive experience as an accompanist and orchestral musician, including membership of the State Opera of S.A. Orchestra and the Australian Youth Orchestra. In Cambridge, U.K., Kylie led the Cambridge University 2nd Orchestra and was a member of the 1st Orchestra, her time there culminating in a performance of the Verdi “Requiem” in King’s College Chapel directed by Stephen Cleobury. Whilst in England, Kylie also was a member of the Ensemble Duparc, Monteverdi Ensemble, Hertfordshire Philharmonic Orchestra and Degani Players. Since her return to Australia, Kylie has taught in South Brisbane and Ararat, Western Victoria, before moving to the Gold Coast and taking up her current position of Instrumental Music Teacher (Strings) at King’s in 2009. This year she is excited to also springboard the new program “Strings @ Pimpama”. Patrick Emery—Brass Teacher In 2005, Patrick completed a Bachelor of Music at the University of Adelaide, majoring in Jazz Trumpet Performance. He completed his Graduate Diploma of Education through Monash University. From 2006 Patrick taught instrumental music brass for the IMS in South Australia.

He also has an extensive performance history as a trumpet player and song writer, performing in jazz, funk, hiphop and electronic bands, as well as in classical chamber groups and orchestras. Joanna Funk—Piano Tutor, Reedy Creek and Pimpama I teach piano in Primary, Middle and High school, at Reedy Creek and Pimpama campuses. My greatest pleasure is teaching beginners of all ages; watching them grow from first notes to complete songs is really a privilege, for me and for you! Here is my blog: https://joannafunk.wordpress.com/piano-lessons/ Elsewhere, I play an unusual instrument called a melodica, am repetiteur and pianist for the Sunnybank Theatre Group, and in-house reviewer for the Brisbane Jazz Club, and entertainment portal scenestr.com.au. Learning music enriches all our lives, whatever the instrument. I hope we get to meet at King's. John Argyle—Voice Tutor John studied in London at the Royal Academy of Music and Exeter University in England where he gained a teaching degree. He has taught at many schools both in England and Australia, having moved here in 1975. He has lectured at the University of Tasmania and at Melbourne University. John has directed choirs and orchestras throughout his career and taught Piano, Singing and Theory. He is the present organist at Robina Anglican Church. John has been a teacher all his life and lives for his students. He believes in teaching for fun and enjoyment, leading towards excellence in music education. Roy Williamson—Guitar Tutor Roy is a professional entertainer and guitar teacher. He comes with many years of experience in teaching and performing. His studies have included all facets of guitar and teaches at all levels - classical, rock and contemporary. Roy has a desire to share this gift of music with others and believes in bringing out the artistic side of the students. Justin Husband – Guitar Tutor, Pimpama My name is Justin Husband and I am the guitar teacher at Kings Christians College at the Pimpama campus. I have only been on the Gold Coast for just over a year now since I moved down to study at the Queensland Conservatorium of music at Griffith University in Southport. I have played guitar for 9 years (since I was 12) and have been playing professionally for 6. I moved here from a small country town in North Queensland called Charters Towers from which I was born and raised. After graduating high school, I decided I would love to teach guitar and help tutor school bands and I landed a teaching job at two high schools in Charters Towers. After two years in this position, I decided I wanted to further my education of music and guitar and make the move to the Gold Coast and audition for the Conservatorium. I love all genres of music and strive to help your kids achieve their musical goals. I believe there is nothing better than watching a student of yours progress and knowing that you've helped nurture a skill that can stay with them for the rest of their lives.

However, we knew we had a Director and Mu- sical Director more than capable of exceeding every expectation placed on them in CAT Award winners Spencer Cliff and Katrina Tang. When the full production team, cast and orchestra were announced, I knew we would have an incredible show on our hands because they were full of such fantastically talented and mo- tivated people. IHP is incredibly fortunate to have the amazingly diverse people who make up the society; it is all of your commitment and generosity that make these shows so spectacular and makes the society such a joy to be a part of. I am sincerely grateful to all of you. his is the last performance that will be held in the ANU Arts Centre, and I know the show will be a fitting vale.

They have a model as well. So that is 26. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Who are they? Mr Cook: Things like Seventh-day Adventists or something like that. We can take that on notice, again. It is a loose collection of schools, where they do not reallocate at a system level like other systems do. They work together under the act as an approved authority— Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Are there a number of Christian ones? Mr Cook: There are a number of Christian ones. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Are they bunched together? Is that how we get to 27? Mr Cook: Autism Spectrum Australia, for example, is one. The Uniting Church in Australia Property Trust is another one.

  • Shame Music Credits
    Original Music by Mario Millo Music Engineering Cos Russo 'He's My Man' Composed and Arranged by Lucky Oceans Composer Mario Millo: At time of writing, Millo had an eponymous website here, which contained this biography, together with other details: Mario Millo was born in Sydney, Australia in May 1955 to Italian parents, both whom had musical backgrounds. His music career began at the age of five when his father taught him to play the mandolin. By nine, he had begun performing in various Sydney night-clubs and was fast becoming an accomplished guitar player. In 1967, at twelve years of age, he formed his first band, wrote his first song and two years later his second band "The Clik" were the winners of a major "battle of the bands" launching the group into mainstream live venues and their first record release. "The Clik" broke up in late 1973 and Millo decided to join Sydney band "Sebastian Hardie". It was with this band that he began to develop his unique writing style and in 1975, Sebastian Hardie released their debut album "Four Moments" which achieved gold status soon after its release. The bands second album "Windchase" was released a year later - both these albums were hailed as classic progressive rock performances, with Sebastian Hardie recognised as one of the most innovative rock bands of the seventies. The band toured Australia with many international acts including Santana, Lou Reed, Osibisa and Focus. Sebastian Hardie held their own alongside these major acts in the eyes and ears of audiences and the press with Millo's melodic and soulful guitar playing gaining the respect of legend guitarists Carlos Santana and Jan Akkermann and the praise of his many followers.

    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.
