What a great couple of days for Music at the College!

Our music students were joined by Australian session guitarist Michael Dolce for a Q&A session, where he shared insights from his career, followed by guitar and band workshops focused on songwriting, technique, and performance.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our young musicians to learn directly from an experienced industry professional, and we thank Michael for sharing his time, expertise, and passion with our students.

A record number of music students also participated in our Music Soiree, sharing their music in performance for family and friends.
