Instrumental Music Program
Delivering a quality music education to all students
We cater for a vast range of instruments and voice, and encourage, motivate, inspire and guide our students to achieve their best through individual and ensemble-based learning.
Our team of professional musicians and teachers provide a wide range of experiences to launch students into further musical study, and on to professional and rewarding careers in the music industry. At the same time, all students involved in the program benefit from the social aspects of our extra-curricular program, and enhance their academic achievements.
Learning a musical instrument will help your child improve:
- Memory Skills
- Time Management & Coordination
- Language & Math Skills
- Social Skills & many other benefits.
bands & ensembles
The Instrumental Music Department at Rowville Secondary College has a proud tradition of providing a bands and ensembles program for all students who learn an instrument at the school. Our bands and ensembles rehearse on a weekly basis and perform regularly at school events and in the local community. Our ensembles also participate in local festivals, competitions and attend music camps and state tours.
