2022 Instrumental Music Information Evening- Year 2 and Year 3 families

The 2022 Instrumental Music Information Evening for families with students who are interested in joining the Strings or Band program in 2023 will be held on Thursday September 1 at 6pm in the school hall. Current Year 2 students are eligible to join the Strings program next year while current Year 3 students are eligible to join the Band program next year. Current Year 3 students who are already learning a string instrument in the String program are not eligible to also join the Band program next year. If a student wishes to be considered for selection in the 2023 Instrumental Music program, there is the expectation that the student and one caregiver attend the information evening. This will ensure all families understand the commitment and costs involved with participation in the program.  

Participation in Instrumental Music at Yeronga is in high demand and there are limited places available, so a selection process needs to be followed to determine which students are selected for the program.  After attending the Music Information Evening parents can register their interest in their child participating in the program. At the start of term 4 instrumental music teachers will then conduct physical testing with these students where the students try out the different instruments available to determine how physically capable they are of holding and playing the instruments on offer. The Instrumental Music teachers also consider observations made by class/specialist teachers when determining which students to offer a place in the program.
