​

We offer a wide variety of instruments for students to learn in our Instrumental Music Program at St Matthew's including violin, cello, guitar, keyboard/piano, alto saxophone, flute, trumpet, trombone and clarinet.

Learning a musical instrument is an exciting opportunity for students to learn important life-skills and to discover how fun it can be to express one's self musically. Students improve their coordination and motor skills while being creative!

Lessons are held mostly during school time for one, half hour per week, either in small groups or private, one-on-one lessons. A suitable time is arranged with the classroom teacher to minimise interruption to studies. A limited number of lesson times may be available during lunch or after school..

Some instruments require students to be a certain height or age so it is recommended that new Violin or Guitar students are in Year two or older, and Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Alto Sax or Cello tuition are Year Three or older. Keyboard lessons are available for students of all ages. ​It is strongly recommended that you contact the relevant music teacher before buying an instrument as they will be able to give information to help you in your purchase and ensure that you get best value for money.
