Music

Music is an integral part of the curriculum and has a high profile within the school. All students from Prep to Year 6 attend general music lessons and recorder tuition commences in Year 3. There are choirs at each level in which all students in years P-2, 3/4 and 5/6 participate, plus the school choir ‘Balwyn Singers’.

An extensive Instrumental Music program is available, with children learning from visiting music tutors. There are ensembles for the children to participate in, such as string orchestra and concert band. The ensembles vary from year to year, depending on the group of students involved in the program. There are 2 concerts each year at which the choirs and ensembles perform.

Matinees or Soirees

Informal matinees and soirees are held twice a year, where parents can listen to their children perform in front of an audience. Any child who is learning an instrument can perform.

The performing arts are important at the school, with the children participating in assembly performances, concerts, matinees, soirees and community events.
