Instrumental Music

Instrumental Music Scholarship

The Department of Education has a specialist music program through the School of Instrumental Music (SIM). Primary schools are offered programs in Strings, Brass, Woodwind or Percussion however the choice of instruments is based on the needs of the feeder high school. At Bambara Primary School, a select number of Year 5 students are offered a place in the Brass or Woodwind Scholarship program.

These instrumental programs are in trumpet, trombone or clarinet. Students are taught one of these instruments in a small group setting for half an hour a week by a specialist instrumental teacher who is an accomplished musician. No fees are charged except there is a small lease fee for the hire of the instrument (see Contributions and Charges Schedule). Students may continue these lessons in Year 6 but have to purchase their own instrument.
