Music students are encouraged to enter themselves into the Monash Youth Music Festival being held largely within the Music Centre at Huntingtower in early Term 3.

This provides a point of focus for learning and playing your instrument, which is not only motivational but an exhilarating experience. There are sections that are competing for places and prizes, and non-competitive ‘feedback only’ opportunities.
