Instrumental Music lessons!

What can I learn?

SINGING, GUITAR, BASS GUITAR, DRUMS, KEYBOARDS/PIANO, CLARINET, FLUTE & SAXOPHONE.

If you are interested in having instrumental lessons as school, talk to Mr Coco and he will talk to you about any questions you may have.

The lesson time changes each week, so you don’t miss out on the same class every time. Lesson times are 35 minutes in duration.

Lesson fees are $100 for the year and an extra $100 for instrument hire.

(For Drums, guitar/bass guitar or Piano/ Keyboard instrumental hire does not apply). If you are eligible for the CSEF (if your parents/guardians) have a Health Care Card, you don’t have to pay these fees. If you are unsure, ask Dung at the front office.

Instrumental music enrolment forms may be collected from the front office or from Mr Coco or Mrs Mcalister (Instrumental Music room).

Students already enrolled in lessons have been practicing hard in preparation for their first performance of 2025 for HARMONY DAY!
