Music
"Music is fun! It plays such a unique and influential role in our lives and the world at large. Our purpose is to equip all our students to be confident and capable music makers in whichever ways they pursue."
– Renate Sykes, Music Coordinator
We believe that every child is musical, and we love to see students enjoy the unique creative outlet that making music provides.
Music is a tool that helps us process and communicate some of the more difficult things in life. Music is for everyone; as the Zimbabwe saying goes: ‘if you can walk, you can dance; if you can talk, you can sing’.
In all our music programs across the school, students grow and learn teamwork. They experiment and adapt, they learn how to blend and how to stand out, and enjoy celebrating music made by themselves and others.
Our music program starts in the classroom, is complemented by co-curricular choirs and bands and is supported by our instrumental program, which is staffed by skilled and talented tutors. All of this sits within our Christian Framework of being salt and bringing light in our community.
We believe that every child is musical, and we love to see students enjoy the unique creative outlet that making music provides.
Southern Hills Christian College has a wonderful history of passionate and expressive musicmaking, and our students love to share music with each other and with audiences. We believe that music is a gift from God, one that we are all designed to enjoy and participate in.
We also believe that learning music is good for your mind, your body and your soul! This has been well researched and documented in a TED talk by Anita Collins titled “How Playing an Instrument Benefits Your Brain”.
We hope your child will enjoy participating in the range of Music and Performing Arts opportunities available at Southern Hills.
