Music Information Night

This year’s Music Information Night is on Monday 12 February beginning at 6:30pm in The Performing Arts Centre, following the Year 7 Social event.

Music Information Night is your opportunity to learn about the Instrumental Music Program at EDSC and enrol to learn a musical instrument.

Tuition places are limited on most instruments, and preference will be given to students who attend this event.

Information will also be provided for students who already learn an instrument outside of school and want to be involved in the ensemble program.

Most excitingly, students will have the opportunity to try out their favourite instruments on the night!

Information regarding the Music Program and Music Information Night, including a ‘Meet the teachers and instruments’ section has also been provided on the EDSC website:

Instrumental Music Lesson Re-enrolment

Re-enrolment will shortly close for students who were learning an instrument at EDSC in 2023. As always, places are limited on most instruments and we encourage you to re-enrol as early as possible to reserve a place before our new Year 7s enrol next week.

Re-enrolment should be made directly through Compass where you will see the charge on your Parent Dashboard under Events.

Any students wishing to start learning a new instrument should enrol through Music Information Night on Monday 12 February.

Where students already learn an instrument and would like to continue lessons at EDSC, and/or just want to play in one of our school music ensembles, Music Information Night is also the perfect opportunity to talk to the Music staff and learn how to proceed.

Lessons and Ensembles Starting

Please check Compass for your instrumental music lesson and ensemble rehearsal times. For those who have paid the Instrumental Music levy, most lessons will have commenced this week. 

Students who have not paid the Instrumental Music Levy may still see their former ensemble(s) appearing on their Compass schedule, and should confirm their ensemble participation with their ensemble director as soon as possible.

Most ensembles will start rehearsing during weeks 2 and 3. Remember; if it’s on Compass, IT’S ON!
