2024 Instrumental Music Placements

Following Music Information Night on Monday 12 February, we have been overwhelmed by the number of students wanting to enrol to learn an instrument this year. We have squeezed as many students as we can into the places available, and most instruments now have waiting lists. 

There are a very small number of places available on the following brass instruments;  trumpet, trombone, euphonium. If you’d like to have a look at these instruments and try them out, then Tuesdays or Thursdays are good days to pop into the Performing Arts Centre when our Brass teachers are in.

For students who have been successful in getting a place, it is very important to check your Compass schedules and your school emails regularly so you don’t miss any important information about your lesson time, ensemble rehearsals etc. It is your responsibility to make your way to the PAC when you have your weekly lesson. 

Lessons have started this week, and a reminder that beginner band starts on Friday 15 March and Da Capo strings starts on Monday 18 March. These ensembles will also appear on your Compass schedules.

For students who are new to the school and already play instruments, we are progressively working our way through contacting you and inviting you to join a band. If you don’t hear back soon, please feel free to contact Carl Williams, Instrumental Music Coordinator williams.carl@eastdonsc.vic.edu.au
