When starting to learn an instrument, it is important for students to have an engaging experience and to build a strong foundation in their musical learning.

Our students in this program are guided through a progressive learning experience, with a curriculum based on the use of a prescribed method book depending on their instrument. Students above the age of 12 will utilise a method book specifically for older beginner students.

This is cultivated through a combination of their own private music lesson, participating in our school concerts and other events, and utilising our school’s Music Maestro program. As the student develops these fundamentals, they are considered graduated as they reach a level ready to begin music exam preparation if they choose to do so.
