OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT IS BUILT AROUND PERFORMANCE
Our program gives students the chance to get on stage, show their growth, and be part of something strong, visible, and real.
Music isn’t just for the gifted, it’s for those who want to belong, enjoy it, and are willing to put in consistent work. We call it serious fun.
It’s not about perfection, it’s about growth.
And that is what you’ll see on stage at McClelland. Our students are prepared, confident and real!

At McClelland, we are proud to offer a comprehensive and high-quality music program that supports students at every level, from beginners through to advanced performers. Whether students are picking up an instrument for the first time or refining their skills at a senior level, there is a clear pathway for growth, performance,
and success.
Music at McClelland is built around experience. Students do not just learn, they perform, collaborate, and develop as real musicians. Being part of the music program is one of the most rewarding experiences a student can have at school. It builds confidence, discipline, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging.
Our program is led by an experienced and passionate team of classroom and instrumental teachers who are committed to high standards and strong student outcomes. We provide excellent facilities, structured learning, and a wide range of performance opportunities that allow students to showcase their progress in meaningful and authentic ways. Our connections with the wider community further enrich these experiences and give students a sense of purpose beyond the classroom.
Studying music is both challenging and highly rewarding. We encourage all students to step into that challenge, commit to the process, and experience the excitement, enjoyment, and growth that comes with learning and performing music.
The McClelland Music Program is inclusive, accessible, and built on high expectations. It is designed to:
· be accessible to all students
· support the development of excellence in performance
· provide regular and meaningful performance opportunities
We look forward to a year of strong growth, outstanding performances, and real musical achievement.
