MUSIC

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TUITION

2027 APPLICATIONS WILL OPEN AUGUST 3, 2026.

Dromana College’s Instrumental Music Program offers all students opportunities to excel in all aspects of music. Classroom Music is offered from Years 7 to 12, including VCE Music Performance. Students also have the opportunity to study Instrumental Music lessons. Lessons are currently offered in Voice, Drums, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Brass, Woodwind and Piano.

At Dromana College, the Music program is based around the performing ensembles. Students take lessons in order to perform in a huge variety of choral, band and jazz ensembles and gain much benefit from participating in shared music making. They engage in and learn significant musical and social skills including; cooperation, leadership, discipline, responsibility, blending and contrasting and working within given parameters. It is a requirement of all students who learn an instrument at Dromana College to participate in the ensemble program by being active performing members of at least one major ensemble at school. This involves their weekly attendance to rehearsals as well as performing with the ensemble.

Students in all year levels are encouraged to be actively involved in a wide ranges of musical activities including:

  • Perform in College productions
  • Perform at Assemblies, Recitals, Lunchtime Concerts and Community Events
  • Perform at the Soirees and Celebration Evening
  • Complete music examinations such as AMEB
  • Progress to advanced music studies through VCE Music

The following fees apply for Instrumental Music Tuition:

  • Group Lessons (maximum 2 students) $130 per term
  • Individual Lessons $150 per term

Students receive a 30 minute lesson weekly, on a rotational basis to minimise disruption to class time.

Please note, it is compulsory for all students who are learning an instrument to take part in one of our instrumental ensembles. Instrumental Music lessons are heavily subsidised by the Government on the provision that students are involved in a school ensemble. An additional fee of $100 per term may be charged for students who do not actively participate in an ensemble.

Playing in an ensemble is an essential part of learning an instrument. It is not only great fun, but builds cooperative and team-building skills, performance and presentation skills, punctuality and commitment which are essential for success in our competitive modern society.

Instrumental Music applications for 2027 will open on the 3rd of August 2026. If you have any questions regarding your child taking music lessons for next year, please email music@dsc.vic.edu.au. Applications for 2027 will close on Friday 30th of October 2026.

Upon acceptance into the program, you will be sent an invoice for Term 1 2027, which must be paid in advance to secure a place in the program.
