Summer music school helps kids stay on song THE Peninsula Youth Music Society has held their 39th annual summer music school for young students to hone their musical ability. Keen musicians met at Mount Erin College to practice and get ready for a concert held at the Frankston Arts Centre last Friday. Nora Morrisroe from the Peninsula Youth Music Society said “this year 100 students have been engaged in making music with their new found friends, some have just begun their joy of exploring sounds and creating music, others have extended their skills and found fun in improvisation, others have been trying to find the instrument that best suits their natural talents.”
“Parents and friends and the general public will have the opportunity to enjoy the concert on Friday evening at the Frankston Art Centre. This concert will highlight the skills of the students through performance as members of percussion ensembles, string orchestra, dance, music theatre, concert band and stage bands.” Their morning music school program will kick off in early February, with young students set to meet at Karingal Primary School on Saturday mornings to learn, create, and explore music.
