Instrumental music lessons are offered to support classroom music programs.
Access to lessons
Students can apply for instruction for 1 instrument only, including voice. If a student is learning from a private teacher, they may not learn the same instrument from a department teacher.
Instrumental Music will support a mid-year intake of beginners at the start of the second semester if:
- there are not enough enrolled students to support the music program
- students are part of semester course selections.
Primary schools
Student access to lessons in primary schools is based on the availability of IM resources.
Secondary schools
Student access to lessons in secondary schools depends on student enrolment in classroom music programs where instrumental performance is a key component.
