Music

Students at Crestwood HS have plenty of opportunities to engage in practical music making activities.

Our regular weekly ensemble is a Stage Band that plays contemporary style music, including jazz, blues and theatre music. Students have enjoyed mastering the range of pieces and the standard of the group has made it a popular contributor at school events.

In 2006, the more conventional Concert Band will continue for students who have been involved in such an ensemble in primary school and wish to continue their music making at high school.

A feature of Music teaching at Crestwood is the formation of small groups of musicians to form ensembles to perform for specific events. This flexible approach provides opportunities for a diverse range of musical interests and aptitudes. Students gain experience in rehearsing for and performing in a range of situations. They enjoy the changing combinations and value the close connections with their teachers.
