Instrumental Music
All students who wish to be involved in the instrumental program are given the opportunity to join. Our only limitation is the number of instruments that we have available to students for hire. The Selmer test and classroom music results are used to determine the aural awareness of students wishing to be involved in the instrumental program and this assists in choosing students who receive a college instrument for hire. All students who have their own instrument may learn in our program. It is expected that students of this program must attend all lessons, rehearsals and performances.
Instrumental Music is built on comprehensive combination of learning styles and experiences. Our Instrumental Music Specialists Mrs Teena Sullivan tsull86@eq.edu.au Strings Teacher Years 3-12 and Mrs Shannon Druery sdrue9@eq.edu.au Multi-Instrumental (Brass, Woodwind, Percussion) Years 4-12 deliver inclusive lessons for students to develop increasing confidence and musical sensitivity.
The aim of the Instrumental Music Program at Woodcrest State College are to:
- provide an opportunity for the musical development of students through instrumental instruction,
- provide ensemble experience for these students so they can develop performance skills,
- encourage the enjoyment of personal achievement through performances and learning a musical instrument,
- develop students' team building skills,
- develop an appreciation for music, and
- have fun!
Costs
- $40 music levy per year.
- $50 first year, instrument hire fee (if using a school instrument).
- $50 percussion fee.
- Students will also need to purchase a tutor book and some consumables.
