Students learn to play in a group, developing responsibilities and awareness of others. They also learn about time management and self-discipline. Students working at GRADE 1 LEVEL & ABOVE can audition for the Symphony Orchestra from Term 1.

Students must commit to a full year and be prepared to play at Awards Assemblies, Competitions and the Music Night Showcase.

Full orchestra rehearsals are held every Thursday from 8-9 am with additional rehearsals allocated on Fridays 8-9 am prior to a performance. 

Chosen candidates are required to practise orchestral music in their own time at home, as well as be punctual and attend every rehearsal (if one must miss a rehearsal, an email from a parent should be sent to Mrs Issa, stating a reason for any absence).
