Why:
Most importantly! A Message from Christine:
"I have such fond memories of playing the glockenspiel (which I found still in great working condition!) when I was in the KPS band over 25 years ago. Being in the KPS band gave me such joy, and taught me many life skills that music teaches, such as resilience, responsibly, diligence, determination and more. Having lived in a rural area in Victoria where music had faded from the schools, it is my passion to make sure that doesn't happen here in the Illawarra.
The aim of these small groups is to learn the basics, develop skills needed to play in a band and play together for Kiama Public School at the CAPA concert in December!"
