General Information
The Instrumental Music Program aims to help parents provide their children with an opportunity to learn a musical instrument within the school community.
The program offers INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC LESSONS on a range of instruments with qualified and experienced instrumental music tutors.
The program also offers SCHOOL MUSIC GROUPS that are designed to complement the instruments offered by the Instrumental Music Program with qualified and experienced music conductors.
The success of this program is the result of collaboration between instrumental music tutors, school music group conductors, the music administrator, and with the support of classroom teachers and school administration.
Learning a musical instrument consolidates students' learning and promotes the development of important aspects of personal management including: self-confidence, executive brain function, memory, social skills, team building and wellbeing. Please see the following 4.5 minute TED-Ed by Dr Anita Collins showing how playing music makes “fireworks go off all over your brain”.

Performances
Performing is a vital part of music education. Performances will be arranged throughout the school year. Students participating in instrumental music lessons are invited to perform twice a year, at the Winter Musical Soirée and Summer Musical Soirée. The school music groups are invited to perform each term, including at the Lee St Fete, the Winter Musical Soirée, a community performance, school assembly and the Summer Musical Soirée.
