Co-curricular Music

We stand for passion.

Vibrant and Inclusive

St Andrew’s has established a vibrant and inclusive Music program from Prep through to Year 12. We aim to provide the highest quality music education, respecting individual and group contributions to the musical life of our College.

We aspire to offer an accessible pathway for all, supporting and encouraging all students to build their personal capacity. Whether it's exploring the first sounds on an instrument, singing in class together, creating and composing music or considering the theoretical aspects of music, we are here to support students experience significance in their efforts.

The three core elements of our Co-curricular Music program, that all students can take part in, are:

Instrumental Music lessons
Ensemble Pathways
Performance Opportunities

Researchers have found that when children play music together—from simple rhythms to larger group performances—they are better able to tune into other people’s emotions.

Instrumental Music lessons

The starting point for most students who wish to become involved in Co-curricular Music.

Performance opportunities and tours

The College has a wide range of ensembles that cater for students from Prep to Year 12.

Ensembles enable us to make music together; and to support, encourage and share our group music making with others. Throughout the year, ensembles participate in a wide range of performances, including: school concerts, Eisteddfods and music festivals. Our ensembles are also integral support to major St Andrew's events and school services where they provide valued musical entertainment for our community to enjoy.

St Andrew's offers Music camps and tours throughout the year that are focused on developing the skills of our students and their relationships with fellow students and staff. Music camps provide a dedicated weekend of rehearsal and support the musical development of individuals as well as St Andrew's ensembles.
