About the Instrumental Music Program
Children of the appropriate age i.e. year 4, 5 or 6 can choose to play an instrument and be involved in the school’s instrumental music program.
In previous years, Maleny State School has had a good quality and positive instrumental music program which has also included a talented school band. Mr Hill (Instrumental Music Teacher) is looking forward to the challenge of maintaining this high level of musical skill amongst the students involved in the instrumental music programs.
Instrumental music is a great opportunity for your child to begin to learn an instrument, join the school/district concert band and perform at both school and community events.
Studies have shown that learning a musical instrument helps students improve academic results. Learning a musical instrument is like exercise for the brain.
