Year 6

The Music Programme at Scotch College is an extensive and inclusive one that is built on active participation. Through inquiry, creativity and performance, students begin to find their musical voice, and take ownership of it in a pivotal time of their development.

Classroom music in Year 6 is a compulsory, year-long course. In Year 6 all students are provided the opportunity to experience music through a Concert Band context. Each student also receives free music tuition on a concert band instrument and subsidised instrument hire.

Students have inquiry lessons, where they explore how Concert Band music is constructed and played, develop their music literacy skills. In practical sessions they participate in skills development sectionals with supporting music tutors in their instrument groups, and at a suitable time in the course the cohort comes together to perform music together.
