INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS

We hope all students have enjoyed their first lessons for 2015!  We encourage all students to keep practising at home and to attend all lessons on time with their instrument ready and their music prepared. 

This week on Monday 16 February, the Instrumental Music students were required on the steps of the PAC for a meeting to introduce them to the department, listen to information about lessons and their band/ensemble placements.  Any students who missed the meeting are reminded to check their school email for the information passed onto students about their responsibilities as an Instrumental Music student at Lilydale High School.
