CAREW COMMUNITY AND CULTURE
Instrumental Music Ignatius Park has continued this year to provide high quality tuition in music. Friendly and professional music experts have guided and trained our boys to progress in a variety of instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals, and saxophone. We have an outstanding group of instructors who are committed and passionate about teaching at Ignatius Park: Dave Roberts, Nic Mitchell, Sara Ferguson, Bo Taylor Hodgson and myself. All tutors have many years of experience, not only as teachers but as musicians. Their wealth of knowledge is authentic and current, and they always bring a positive, encouraging energy to the music room. The highlight this year was when a selection

of students from our instrumental program performed at our Music Showcase night in August, “Live at the Park”. Students and Tutors were able to present some of the songs and skills they had been working on and it was a wonderful, intimate night with family and friends. Learning a musical instrument has been proven time and time again to be beneficial to a young person’s development: mentally, academically, physically, emotionally and socially. We are very lucky at Ignatius Park to have such a high standard of music tuition and we highly recommend music lessons to one and all! Tess Higgins | Instrumental Music Coordinator
