Music at OLMC offers students a vibrant space to grow, connect, and express themselves. Throughout the year, our young musicians have embraced rehearsals, ensemble participation, and performance opportunities with enthusiasm and commitment. Our teachers have shared in that joy too - guiding, encouraging, and celebrating each student’s progress has been one of the most rewarding parts of the year. Below are some reflections from our Year 7 students about music this year. We hope these reflections inspire others to consider joining our music program and discover the achievement, belonging, and shared happiness that come from being part of our musical community whether it is through having lessons, being part of an ensemble or being an enthusiastic member of a music class, all are welcome!
I really enjoy being a part of the music program. I find it rewarding to practice a skill I wouldn't usually do within the classroom and I love making new friends through the program.

This year, Music at OLMC has been filled with growth, creativity, and memorable experiences. We explored a wide range of musical styles, developed new skills, and enjoyed working together in both the classroom and our ensembles. One of our greatest achievements was building confidence in performance, whether through singing, playing instruments, or creating our own compositions.
A major highlight of the year was being involved in two big concerts. Our first was the Hairspray production, which was full of energy, colour, and teamwork. It pushed us to challenge ourselves and helped us understand what goes into putting together a large production. Our second concert was a Celebration where we shared the progress we’ve made throughout the year with our families and friends. It was a rewarding moment to reflect on how far we’ve come.
These performances, along with our work in class, helped strengthen our teamwork, creativity, and appreciation for music. Overall, this year allowed us to deepen our love of music, support each other, and celebrate what we can achieve when we work hard together.

I’d like to also take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in our music program - and their families - for their dedication and support throughout the year. We’re excited for the many events and performance opportunities ahead in 2026, and we look forward to seeing our students’ growth and confidence continue to flourish.
