Drum , Bass Ukulele & Guitar groups choose songs to rehearse during the term and then perform them live together. Students will use a provided worksheets but are also expected to bring their favourite music or songs they would like to learn to lessons on a digital device so we can learn them in class. Reports are handed out term 3. Students will need their own guitar, bass or drum sticks and a clear file folder for the music handed out in class.
