'Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.' LaoTsu

Music is vitally important for the general development of children, and the dedication of the music staff is testament to this. Providing engaging, fun and meaningful learning opportunities and experiences is core to what they do. Allowing students to also explore their own creativity and talents, music also aids academic development and any involvement in ensembles enhances social skills.
Students are supported by dedicated, professional instrumental tutors that are well known around the music scene in Hobart. It is with this breadth of variety that students can develop their skills in any genre or style of music they like. By enabling students to do this, they become more well-rounded and intelligent musically and academically.
Instrumental Tuition
Private instrumental tuition is offered by our highly experienced and respected instrumental tutors. It has been shown around the world that students who undertake learning a musical instrument in some form, demonstrate a more highly improved academic outcome and focus to general learning, so parents – and students – are encouraged to undertake this opportunity where possible. Lessons at the Junior School are provided outside of school hours to ensure minimal disruption to classroom learning. Lessons at the Senior School occur on a rotational basis each week.
Boys can learn a variety of instruments that can include:
- Guitar (acoustic, electric & bass)
- Piano
- Flute
- Clarinet
- Saxophone
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Drums/Percussion
- Voice
Please note that piano tuition is offered in Kinder, Prep and Year 1, with further instrumental tuition offered from Year 3.
