Scotch College offers a comprehensive music tuition programme, with a faculty of expert practitioners delivering lessons each week of the school year. Learning an instrument (including learning to sing) is challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Our music students become part of what we colloquially refer to as the Scotch Music Family.

Our highly respected faculty staff teach following a recognised music syllabus and offer education in a variety of musical contexts, including Western Art/Classical Music, Jazz Music, Contemporary Popular Music and Musical Theatre.

Music Tuition will provide students with the tools for development of instrumental or vocal technique, assist with preparation of solo repertoire appropriate to their level of experience and prepare ensemble repertoire for rehearsals and performances.

When do lessons occur?

Students who are enrolled for music tuition will have a lesson scheduled each week. Students come out of regular classes to attend their lessons, for either 30, 45 or 60 minutes. The lesson will be rotated through a different time each week so that students do not repeatedly miss the same class. The only exceptions to this are:

  • students with a diagnosed learning difficulty, who have an individual education plan which stipulates a fixed lesson time requirement
  • students in Year 12 studying in the ATAR or IB Diploma pathway, who will be allocated a fixed lesson time during a scheduled study period or outside of regular class time
