On Wednesday, 23 October our Year 8 Music students attended an incursion led by Music Director Jess Lopez from the CSO ASPIRE team.  Students were able to participate in a guitar based workshop where they had the opportunity to learn about different forms of guitar tablature and explore different performance techniques on the guitar.  

Jess Lopez utilised repertoire by Indigenous Australian artist Baker Boy as the focus for the workshop.  Students were able to use this repertoire to participate in both individual and collaborative tasks during the two hour workshop.  The repertoire and knowledge attained from this workshop was invaluable and can be utilised and incorporated within the Year Music program undertaken in the classroom. 

The incursion was a great success and it was wonderful to witness our Year 8 Music students actively and enthusiastically engaging with the activities involved.  A big thank you to Jess Lopez for sharing her expertise and talent in running this incursion for us last Wednesday.  Our CAPA department is looking forward to engaging with more CSO ASPIRE opportunities in the future.
