Our school band
Gordon West Public School is dedicated to providing students with the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and develop a passion for music through an extra-curricular band program.
The program caters for all levels of playing experience and includes:
- Training Band - for beginners
- Concert Band - for students in their second year of learning
- Senior Concert Band - for the most advanced music students
The program fosters discipline, commitment and responsibility in all band members. All children are expected to attend weekly rehearsals and a weekly individual tutorial. Public performance is an integral part of the program and all band members are expected to attend music festivals, competitions and programmed events.
There are a plethora of benefits for children who are exposed to music. Learning to read music, the physicality and coordination developed in order to play an instrument and working as a team is just the start. Performing will boost a child's confidence and enrich their school life!
