Instrumental Programs
We run two instrumental programs funded by Education Queensland with participants required to pay a small levy per year.
Multi-instrumental program teaches students to play woodwind, brass and percussion instruments, such as flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet , trombone, euphonium, percussion and bass guitar. This program is offered to all students in year 4-6.
Strings instrumental program teaches students to play the violin, viola, cello and double bass. This program is offered to all students in year 3-6.
Both of these programs offer the opportunity to perform for both the school community and the public.
Music education is an integral part of the Australian National Curriculum and is a core learning area experienced by all students from preschool to grade seven.
We believe that every child can succeed in music. A positive and supportive environment is provided to encourage risk taking and active learning. The classroom music program uses a cumulative, sequential and developmental approach to the teaching and learning of musical skills and concepts. Students participate in a range of activities including reading, writing, creating, presenting and responding to music through the use of body movement, vocal and instrumental work.
Instrumental Programs are offered for string and band instruments where students have the opportunity to extend their musical skills in private and group lessons.
Current timetables include:
String Ensemble: Year 3-6 weekly
Band Ensemble: Year 4-6 weekly
Group Lessons: Year 3-6
We hope that students who are a part of our Music community become empowered to express themselves and use these skills in all other learning areas and everyday life.
