You will be provided with a journal that will need to come to every lesson and be viewed and signed by a parent each week. Year 7 beginner students are not eligible for instrument hire. The school supplies instruments for students to use at school for lessons and practice, but students will be expected to purchase an instrument, where required, as soon as practicable. Please talk to your teacher about this beforehand to allow them to assist you in purchasing an instrument of appropriate quality. Poor instruments can cause significant loss of motivation for students. If your child is currently enrolled in General Music, they will need to change their timetable to include Class Music. This will require a shift in their options. Music students will always have music as one of their options subjects. Whilst this sometimes causes frustrations for some students, the benefits and opportunities provided to the music students are unique and exclusive to the program, and we believe they outweigh any perceived loss of opportunity. Instrumental lessons occur on a rotating timetable. Lessons will change times on a weekly basis; ensuring students don’t miss the same class each week. Ensembles usually occur outside of school hours. If you are playing at the appropriate level it is expected that you will join the applicable ensemble. Attendance at these ensembles is compulsory, and you will need to manage your sporting and other requirements accordingly. We look forward to your child joining us on their musical journey. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the below.
