More about Music in Primary
Music program for Upper Primary – classes 3, 4 and 5
All children in these three classes will learn to play a stringed instrument. (Class 3’s music program commences in Term 3). The string family consists of the Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. Weekly tuition will be held in groups of five students, and the Class will come together as an orchestra. The program will cover the areas of technique, reading, repertoire and performance. The School will issue each student an instrument. Hire of an instrument and tuition will be covered by a surcharge, which will be added to the School fees. It needs to be pointed out that the group lessons do not replace the benefits of learning in a private lesson. If a student shows an interest in learning an instrument well, then a private lesson is recommended.
