At Lesmurdie Primary School, we offer an engaging Performing Arts program delivered by a specialist music teacher. Through a rich and varied curriculum, students have exciting opportunities to develop their skills, explore their creativity, and share their accomplishments through display and performance. 

The Arts at Lesmurdie PS are all about making and responding. Our students are encouraged to explore ideas, experiment with different ways to express themselves, and respond thoughtfully to music and artworks from a wide range of cultures and genres.

As they progress through each year level, children build their understanding of musical elements such as beat, rhythm, pitch, tempo, dynamics, form, melody, timbre, harmony and mood. They are given opportunities to perform confidently for an audience, and move and play instruments with a sense of rhythm and purpose.

Throughout their time at Lesmurdie PS, students will learn to play instruments such as recorders, xylophones, drums, ukuleles, and a variety of percussion instruments. They’ll compose their own music and learn to articulate their ideas using the language of the Arts.

There are also many ways for students to shine outside the classroom. Our school choir meets on Thursday mornings at 8:00am, and performs at special events like Stirkfest, assemblies, and our highly anticipated End of Year Concert Evening.

Lesmurdie PS is also proud to participate in the Department of Education’s Instrumental Music Program. This offers selected Year 5 and 6 students small group tuition in guitar, clarinet, trombone, or trumpet — a wonderful opportunity to develop instrumental skills and perform as part of an ensemble.

At Lesmurdie PS, we believe the Performing Arts help children grow in confidence, creativity and joy — and we love seeing them thrive on stage and beyond.
