If students do not own their own instrument they will be asked to hire an instrument for the cost of <strong>$55.00 per term<\/strong>. It is highly recommended that students learn an instrument from the Brass\/Woodwind families as places for Guitar and Drums are limited. <br><br>Students will have access to a half an hour group lesson each week with a specialist teacher on their instrument.

They perform as a class ensemble to a variety of audiences throughout the year, demonstrating their learning.
