Embrace The Stage
Citipointe offers a wide array of musical ensembles, bands, choirs, and orchestras, led by experienced directors with professional backgrounds in the music industry and a deep passion for musical excellence.
These groups engage in various performances and rehearsals throughout the year, both within the College, such as Primary Assemblies and Performance Concerts, and externally, including Eisteddfods, Musicfest, and Incursions. These opportunities not only allow students to enhance their musical skills but also provide a platform for them to experience the many benefits of making music together. Participation in an ensemble is a requirement for all students receiving tuition, fostering motivation to practise and work towards shared performance goals.
Ensembles
Citipointe’s musical program caters to students of all ages and abilities, with a variety of ensembles designed to nurture their musical talents and interests.
For our youngest students, we have groups like Mini Melodies, Tiny Trebles, and Vivace Voices, where they can explore the joy of singing in a supportive environment.
Musicians can join our concert bands, starting with the Starter Band and progressing through levels like Alpha Band, Primary Band, and Concert Winds. Similarly, string players can participate in ensembles such as Starter Strings, Alpha Strings, and Piccolo Strings, honing their skills and performing alongside their peers.
For those interested in chamber music, there are options like Rhythm Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Guitar Ensemble, providing unique opportunities for collaboration and musical expression. Additionally, we offer jazz bands like Jazz Jammers and The Jazz Collective, where students can explore the exciting world of jazz music and improvisation.
