Friends of Music (FOM)
At Tintern Schools we are proud of our music students and we feel it is important to provide our students with opportunities to perform and showcase their talents and passion for music.
Each year the Tintern Schools Friends of Music host a Jazz Night for just this purpose. It is a highlight of the school calendar and our major fundraising event for the year. Throughout the year we will run various smaller activities such as Munch with the Musos for the students in support of the music program. The Friends of Music is proud to have been able to contribute to the enhancement of the music program through the provision of master classes and numerous pieces of equipment for the music department. Our current goal in conjunction with the School is to purchase a new Grand Piano for the use of our students.
New participants are always welcome so please come along to our next meeting. If you are interested in making contact with the Friends of Music, please contact Mrs Di Lacey in Community Relations and Development on 9845 7877 or email development@tinternschools.vic.edu.au.
Next Meeting: FOM (Friends of Music) will next meet on Tuesday 17 November, 7.30pm in the CM Wood centre common room at Tintern. Please register you attendance via the number or email above.
