Rising Stars at the Con
The Rising Stars at the Con is a dynamic performance-based music education program. The program provides gifted school-age students with specialist tuition in a supportive environment that helps develop their musical and artistic skills.
At Rising Stars, we identify talent at an early age, laying a constructive foundation for a lifetime of musical achievement. Supported by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music faculty, the program is based on proven values of quality instrumental teaching, structured academic development, regular performance and the benefits of a strong and supportive musical peer group.
We also run a Rising Stars Junior program which identifies budding talent in young people. After developing technically and musically in the Junior program, it is hoped that these students will later progress to the full (Senior) Rising Stars program where they will be ready for regular performance opportunities.
In 2014, the programs will run for 16 weeks per semester, for 2 semesters each year.
The Rising Stars program focuses on three essential elements:
1. Instrumental lessons
60 minute weekly individual lessons are given by Sydney Conservatorium of Music faculty, conducted in the studios at the Conservatorium.
Tuition is available on the following instruments:
Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Harp
Woodwind: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone
Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, Tuba
Keyboard: Piano
Students are also permitted to use the Conservatorium’s many practice rooms for their private practice time.
2. Performances
Rising Stars students (excluding Junior Rising Stars) present weekly Performance Platform concerts during the semester. Students are encouraged to perform in these concerts as often as both the student and their teacher feel they are ready to do so. Students are supported and accompanied by professional associate artists. The concerts, which are free and open to the public, are held on Saturdays at 11am and 2pm in the Conservatorium’s state of the art venues. The concerts provide students with invaluable experience in rehearsal techniques, pre-performance procedure and stage presentation.
Aside from performing, students are part of the ‘behind the scenes’ concert activity, learning about concert procedure, etiquette and stage management. All Rising Stars students are expected to attend the concerts each week not only for inspiration but also to broaden their knowledge of all instrumental repertoire.
Students in the Rising Stars Junior program do not perform in the weekly Performance Platform concerts. At the end of each semester, they have the opportunity to perform in a Gala concert, accompanied by professional associate artists.

3. Music skills
In small weekly group lessons, Rising Stars students acquire a knowledge of music theory and history, aural, sight singing and analysis – all essential for academic and musical development. Advanced players progress to seminars presented by professional musicians and musicologists.
Junior Rising Stars
For students not yet ready for the rigors of regular performance, the Rising Stars Junior Program provides the Individual Instrumental Lessons and the Music Skills Classes. The Junior Rising Stars students present a concert at the end of each semester. |
