CO-CURRICULAR MUSIC
Instrumental Program
There are many intrinsic benefits of learning to play a musical instrument, especially as part of a concert band. The joy, wonder and camaraderie that students feel when dealing with music are rewards that are often experienced, and are only some of the intangible benefits for music students, who are immersed in a positive, motivating and enriching musical environment.
Students at Nowra Christian School have the opportunity to learn a concert band instrument from year 4 onwards. Instruments can be hired from the school, and students learn in small groups with an instrumental tutor until the end of primary school.
