Prep 

Prep students attend weekly music lessons that focus on introducing students to various elements of music. Singing, dancing, learning the basics of pitch, rhythm, dynamics and hearing different types of music in the classroom in an inclusive environment will be the main focus. Students will also have access to a variety of melodic and non-melodic instruments to explore the different functionalities these instruments serve in music. Music provides the students with an excellent opportunity to develop relationships based on their musical preferences. Students can engage and interact with each other in the form of sing-song and musical performances.

Year 1 and 2

In Year 1 and 2, students will add to their fundamental knowledge of music, further exploring rhythm, pitch, and dynamics to create musical performances. Music theory is essential for the young learning musician and their musicianship. Students will learn how to utilise these skills on a number of different instruments, including melodic and non-melodic instruments. Students will also learn about famous musicians and how music serves different purposes in cultures.
