25.01.2022 Weeroona College wind students took their Christmas Carols downtown last Friday and had a fantastic time performing and sharing some Christmas spirit.

25.01.2022 Finally it wouldn't have been Term 3 without an awesome Fretworks event.....

22.01.2022 BIMP staff are excited to be meeting new year 7 students this week.

Sign up nights will be held next week at the following schools: Crusoe SC - Tuesday 9th Feb at 7pm Weeroona College - Wednesday 10th Feb at 7pm Eaglehawk SC - Thursday 11th Feb at 5pm.

20.01.2022 BUYER BEWARE - THINKING OF PURCHASING AN INSTRUMENT THIS YEAR? Our advice: There are three main options when acquiring an instrument for your child to play.... Buying a new instrument Buying a second-hand instrument Hiring an instrument from the school. Buying a New Instrument The best option, if the family budget can afford it. This provides a quality instrument and encourages the student to take pride in their equipment. Instruments hold their value pretty well and buying an instrument avoids spending money on hiring. Buying a 2nd Hand Instrument This has many of the advantages of a new instrument but at a lower cost. Allow maybe $50.00 - $100.00 for a service in the first 12 months. Ask the Music teachers about recommended brands. A decent instrument will play better, last longer and students will enjoy playing it more Talk to your teacher regarding specific instrument retailers. Please be wary of purchasing online. Unless you really know what you’re shopping for and confident in the retailer, take care as all music teachers have eBay horror stories. Don’t buy instruments from toyshops or supermarkets.

20.01.2022 Have you got rhythm? Do you want it? Drumming reduces tension, anxiety and stress. Helps control chronic pain and boosts the immune system. It will release negative feelings, blockages and emotional trauma. Google it up if you don't believe me!! Enrol your child in a musical journey in 2021.... BIMP DRUMS

19.01.2022 Trumpet, trombone, french horn, euphonium, tuba........ just a few of the instruments your child can learn in 2021. Take advantage of the government subsidies that keep this program affordable for parents. Enrol your child for next year to join the music program at their school. BIMP BRASS

03.01.2022 Congratulations to our Bendigo Colleges Symphonic band award recipients.

02.01.2022 Finding it hard to motivate yourself to practise? I understand! However by making yourself do something you know is good for you when you don't feel like it is incredibly good for building your will power. It will change your mindset and prove to yourself that your strength of mind knows no bounds! Try having your instrument nearby and easy to just pick up and play at any time. Do small pockets of practise through the day to break up the screen time. Set yourself a challenge... to see how many days in a row you can put in practise. Keep it fun. Connect emotionally with your music. Own it and treasure it. Keep it sacred to you. There will always be challenges in music learning. It never stops and the more you learn the more you realise there is to learn. But if you stay in the moment, in the here and now, you will find the simple pleasure of playing your instrument for yourself. See more

01.01.2022 And just before Term 3 ended students got to spend time with THE James Morrison!!!
