Instrumental Music

Year 7 Music Artist Discovery Program

This is a year-long program involving all Year 7 students. First semester is compulsory for all students and second semester is optional for those who wish to continue.

All students:

• learn to play an instrument through weekly classes
• get an instrument to take home and practise
• get the opportunity to rehearse weekly and play in a band
• begin developing the skills of a musical artist including composing, arranging and performing your own music as well as playing other people’s music.

Year 8-12 music programs

Instrumental music programs enable the students to continue to develop their music skills in playing, reading, composing and performing. You will learn skills in:

• perform, develop, compose and arrange your own music
• contribute as a successful session musician playing other people’s music and projects.

In Years 8-10, learning often takes place in small groups. This is fun and interactive and allows creative partnerships to develop.

In Years 11-12, if you are undertaking VCE VET music,  learning usually takes place individually. This enables you to focus on building the repertoire to prepare for the VCE VET exam.
