PublishingPageContent

​The Instrumental Music Program aims to provide students with the opportunity to become musicians and experience the expressive qualities of music through learning to play a band or orchestral instrument and to participate in performance ensembles such as concert bands and orchestras. The program aims to:

  • Inspire all students’ creativity and imagination, engage them in the art of expression, immerse them in a language and history that is rich in culture, provide them with opportunities beyond the classroom and excite them about life and learning.

  • Benefit students through the skills, concepts and attitudes they acquire, not only during their schooling, but also in the years beyond, whatever their chosen career path.

  • Build on a comprehensive combination of learning styles and experiences, through which students develop increasing confidence and musical sensitivity throughout their years of learning as they engage with progressively complex techniques and a broadening range of genres and styles of music.

  • Provide opportunities for greater participation in music education for the whole school community as well as enrichment experiences for gifted and talented students.​​

  • Foster opportunities for interaction between year levels through participation in school‐based ensembles, as well as for cross‐linking to other areas of the school curriculum.

  • Engage students to improve the quality of perception and self‐expression by fostering the acquisition of musical skills, thereby increasing aesthetic sensibility, cultural awareness and social‐emotional engagement. 

Students in the Instrumental Music Program participate in lessons Woodwind, Brass, Percussion and String instruments during class time each week in a small group. Students have the opportunity to participate in our Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Stage Band, Jazz Ensemble, Strings Orchestra and Vocal Ensemble. These groups participate in a range of national and International music competitions.​
