Instrumental Music

At Wheelers Hill Secondary College, we understand the importance of a quality music program; music education can enhance student engagement and wellbeing, personal and social development, and contribute to learning in other subject areas. Every year the College provides students with the opportunity to develop skills musically on a variety of instruments. Instrumental Music is offered to all students from Years 7 – 12 with participation in College ensembles and performances. These include the Winter and Spring Music Showcases, Music Soirees, Annual College Musical Production, School Assemblies, Information Evenings, Performances in local community and End of Year Awards Night. 

Music lessons are subsidised by the College and maintain competitive pricing when compared to external private lessons. Students receive ongoing access to sheet music, exercises and performance techniques and take part in one of our ensembles. 

The College currently offers Instrumental Lessons for the following – Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Percussion, Keyboard/Piano, and Vocals (Singing). All students are responsible for ensuring they attend lessons during the school day which run parallel with normal class times. Students wishing to undertake instrumental music need to register with the Head of Music. Instrumental Music fees vary with each instrumental structure - more details can be found by speaking to the Head of Music.  

We particularly encourage Students from the RISE class to continue with their instrumental music studies through to at least Year 9.
