Instrumental Music

Emerald College has a flourishing Instrumental Music Department that provides one-on-one and small group tuition during class time. This program is vital in assisting students with their study of music along-side the classroom program from year 7 to VCE.

Lessons are conducted once per week for a full 48 minute period. The cost is $300 per year which is a heavily subsidised price due to funding from the region education department.

Students can choose to study: piano, guitar & bass, drums & percussion, voice, clarinet, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn.

We have some fantastic ensembles such as the Concert Band, Stage Band, Percussion Ensemble, Taiko Japanese Drums, Choir and the Guitar Ensemble.

The College has many performance opportunities for student involvement including:

• A Winter and Spring concert that showcases the best talent at the College
• Open Night, Art and Technology week, school presentation ceremonies and assemblies
• The North Eastern Victorian Region Concert (often at Hamer Hall)
• The Emerald PAVE festival
• Various tours to primary schools and local community groups
• Performing Arts Productions
• Battle of the Bands
