Year 7 Instrumental Program
Building life skills through music
Participating in music goes far beyond learning notes and rhythms. It cultivates invaluable life skills—such as problem-solving, teamwork, goal-setting, self-expression, coordination, memory, and concentration. At Rosebank College, we recognise these lifelong benefits and proudly offer a distinctive Year 7 Instrumental Program to help our students thrive both in and beyond the classroom.
This unique program provides each Year 7 student with a musical instrument to learn during a weekly timetabled group lesson. Through this experience, students build self-confidence, develop poise, and learn to collaborate as part of an ensemble.
Our Year 7 Instrumental Program offers a variety of instruments for students to explore, including:
- Alto Saxophone
- Cello
- Clarinet
- Double Bass
- Euphonium
- Flute
- Trombone
- Trumpet
- Violin
Students who come to Rosebank with prior experience on any of the listed instruments join ensembles with other continuing musicians, giving them the opportunity to build on their skills alongside peers at a similar level. These students are encouraged to deepen their musical journey through private tuition and participation in the College’s Music Ensembles.
Individual Instrumental Music Tuition
For students seeking a more personalised music experience, Rosebank College offers private tuition with specialist music tutors. These one-on-one lessons, held in our dedicated Montserrat tuition rooms, provide tailored instruction to help students refine their technique and advance their musical understanding. Lessons are typically 30 minutes long and are scheduled during school hours or before school.
Our tutors are highly experienced, professional musicians, each with expertise in their respective instruments. Additionally, all students receiving private lessons have the opportunity to showcase their progress in the annual Music Soiree Evening, a highlight of the year that celebrates each performer’s growth and dedication.
