Welcome!
Welcome to the OLGC Music Ensembles Program!
Research has shown that playing music benefits brain development, improving concentration, memory and thinking skills as well as social skills.
Being part of a music ensemble teaches life skills such as teamwork and co-operation and assists students to develop a sense of responsibility to themselves, their ensemble, the school, and in a broad sense, society.
OLGC employs professional musicians as our Band and Choir Directors, and private instrument & keyboard tutors offer individual and small group lessons on-site during school hours. Our Music Ensemble students participate in school and Parish events, music festivals, workshops and public and school performances.
Children in Years 3-6 are eligible to join one or more of our Music Ensembles (Band & Choir).
