Instrumental Music

Instrumental Music Information Session – Thursday 4th February

Last night our Year 7 students were introduced to the Ballarat High School instrumental music program. If you missed it but are interested in playing a band instrument: flute, clarinet, alto or tenor saxophone, trumpet or trombone, the recording of the session will be on the Ballarat High School homepage as soon as it is available.

Please contact one of our Robinson Centre music staff on 5338 9000 if you have any questions regarding learning an instrument, or would like to join.
