Instrumental Music Program

The Department for Education (DfE) provides instrumental lessons during school hours. These lessons are free of charge. The school also has instruments available for hire for students learning at the school.

Instruments available for tuition at the school by DfE tutors currently include clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, electric bass and percussion. 

Students wishing to learn instruments not currently available from DfE tutors may access lessons privately at their own expense. Currently, we offer private music lessons in piano, violin, and voice.

Hire fees for instruments in 2025 will be $100.00 per semester.  

Due to the demand for places in the instrumental program, free lessons with DfE tutors may not be available to all students.  Students enrolled in music subjects at the school have priority access to this program.

Instrumental music students are expected to participate in extracurricular ensemble, if applicable, ie. stage band or beginner concert ban.

Please note: Guitar and bass students must have their instruments from the start of the year. Percussion students need a practice pad and set of drumsticks costing approximately $45.00
