‘Rock Steady Band’ Lessons Opportunity
Last week we had a visit from the Rocksteady Music School. We enjoyed a special assembly together where Zac taught us all about the different instruments you may find in a band. We also had a workshop where the children got to experience what it was like to be in a band (even Miss Ross had a go!) The children were given a letter to bring home which includes additional information about the opportunity for a range of instrument lessons starting in February next year. These band lessons are offered on a first come first served basis and can be booked via the website. Rocksteadymusicschool.com/parents
