Extra-curricular Music
Our music programs provide children with a rich opportunity to learn and perform music at school and beyond. The programs are led by highly experienced and qualified music professionals.
A love of music and a commitment to regular rehearsals and performances is expected.
Instrumental Music
Our school offers a concert band instrumental music program available to students in year 4 and above. An Education Queensland instrumental music teacher visits our school weekly for lessons in percussion, brass and woodwind instruments. Our instrumental music program includes a band program starting in year 4.
On Mondays, our specialist Instrumental Music teacher conducts lessons and concert band rehearsals on Thursdays. Students in years 4 - 6 can learn to play brass, woodwind or percussion instruments.
A variety of concert and performance opportunities are arranged to give students in the school band and choir the chance to perform. These may include, the southside Beginner Band Workshop, the Karawatha Music Camp and our end of year Music Soiree.
While there are no tuition fees for this program, there is a small charge to parents if students do have their own instruments to cover the costs of sheet music for ensembles. If students do not have their own instrument a limited number of school ones are available for hire for the year (instrument levy charge applies).
Choir
Choir is organised by our Arts Specialist teacher each year. Rehearsals are held before school from 8:00AM to 8:45AM as per the scheduled days below:
- Junior Choir Prep (from term 3) - Year 2 ~ Thursdays
- Senior Choir Year 3 – 6 ~ Tuesdays
Our choirs perform at a variety of school events throughout the year, including parade, the Book Week Boogie, and our annual Music Soiree.
