Last week, we welcomed our new Instrumental Music Instructor, Mr Stew Sloan and he comes to us having worked for three years in schools in Western Queensland. Mr Sloan lives in Meringandan and is a specialist playing and teaching Brass, Woodwind and Percussion instruments and regularly plays an a band. Mr Sloan said he looks forward to igniting a passion for music amongst our students and really likes working with students in smaller rural schools. Mr Sloan hopes to further develop the Brass, Woodwind and Percussion program at the College and plans on working towards forming a concert band. Outside of music and school, Mr Sloan is an avid Rugby League and Cricket fan and enjoys tinkering with old cars.

Last Friday, Mr Sloan performed to some of the younger students and their excitement was evident as her created a song using a loop machine while he played several instruments and sang all at one time. Check out the clip below!
