Concerts – June and December

Much effort is made in preparation for these concerts. There are instrumental and vocal solos, ensembles, dancing, etc. with much entertainment quality. Hosanna brings in professional sound support with lighting and stage enhancement to give students access to performance experience at all ages and stages.

These concerts are vital for students' development because everyone can be included and it gives each an opportunity to be exposed to solo and ensemble music and how to play with other musicians on various levels. The purpose of music is discovered in these events - to share your heart and message with your community. It develops self-confidence and assertiveness.

We host Junior Concerts for younger and beginner performers and Senior Concerts for older and more advanced performers. These two consecutive events will be held on one day at the same venue.

Family and friends are invited to support performers and tickets will be required at the door.

Performers attend for free, of course.

Ticket sales are available annually to family, friends and community to these events. Notice will be given when tickets are available.

Exams, Assessments & In-house Concerts

A curriculum is as good as it's assessment standards. Hosanna has made sure that all students have a goal, whether it be to achieve an exam certificate or apply at a national competition or Eisteddfod. Lynn Beech has her licentiate at Trinity's Rock School and is therefore adequately qualified to conduct accredited tests and assessments. Assessors of Rock School England have been very pleased with the standard of the teachers and students at Hosanna.

It is important that musical performance be developed. Bi-annual in-house concerts are held in June and in December each year (see more information below). Tickets are available to friends and family.
