My daughter has a fabulous time at EJMS; she’s been attending for many years and has amassed a group of music friends who take part in all sorts of ensembles. Mainly she just has great fun but she’s also learnt a host of musical skills as well as leadership, listening, working with others and taking responsibility for your role in a group endeavour. The teachers’ passion for music is continually in evidence and is catching! The parents’ choir is great fun too!
