Class Music
As part of the Music Education program at Haberfield Public School all students in Years 1 to 5 learn the recorder.
All students begin by learning singing, developing skills in pitch, rhythm, language and movement. This is followed by the introduction to the recorder in year 1 and continues through to Year 6. Due to health risks involved in sharing recorders we ask all students to have their own recorder. Quality Yamaha Recorders can be purchased from the school office for $9.00. Students can if they wish also purchase the recorder tutor for $15.00. The tutor has a CD, which students can practice with.
Musical works by composers from Year 6 have been selected for Sydney Symphony Education concert.
Composers Laura Kikireov, Madison McAuslan & Isobel Debs of 6/5B & Dominic Czerwinski, Jack Nguyen-Phuoc & Allen Wang of 6C have been selected to perform their musical compositions about 'Scorpions' at the 'Sydney Sinfonia' concert July 29 2010. Click on names to hear their work.
Well done to both groups & good luck for your performances.

Live Performances
All Students Kindergarten to Year 6 will be attending two live performances.
The performances will be at venues outside of school due to the building program at Haberfield. Students will have the opportunity to attend performances at the first class venues of the Seymour Centre & the Sydney Olympic Centre.
These performances are linked to the K-6 Creative Arts Syllabus, which includes Music, Dance and Drama. Classroom lessons are also linked to these performances.
Each performance has a fee and we ask that you pay for all performances for 2010 via your class teacher by Friday 14th March.
