Band Program

At Curl Curl North we have three bands:

The Training Band for our beginning band members
The Junior Band for developing players
The Senior Band for our most accomplished players

Students are invited to enter the Band Program in Year 3. In addition, a Year 2 Recorder Band operates in Term Four each year. This program is an important aspect of the band preparation program.

Each band rehearses once a week. Every band member is expected to attend a private music lesson with a tutor, as well as practising regularly at home.

Our Band Program aims to

give students the opportunity to play in a band corresponding to their level of musical ability.
further develop an appreciation and love of music and enhance creative self expression.
provide opportunities for band members to perform for their peers and the wider community

Instruments

Students are able to hire instruments from the school on a term by term basis.

Events throughout the year

Bands perform regularly throughout the year for their peers and families. For the first time in 2009 all bands entered the Yamaha Festival. Each year band members attend a two day Music Camp, usually held in May. Over two days students receive intensive tutoring on their instruments, work hard and have fun!

Band Fees

Band fees are $75 per term per child or $130 per family if two or more members of a family are in the Band program.
