A formal music education is proven to lead to better academic results, improved confidence and self-esteem, and personal growth and social development. Our College is very proud of its rich music program starting with the Band & String ensemble forms in Year 7.
The Instrumental Music Program is an optional enhancement to the music curriculum and is provided on a user-pays basis.
The program involves students learning an instrument and playing as part of an ensemble. Students are placed into ensemble classes with other students participating in the program where they learn how to play their instruments alongside one another.
