Music Tuition

Emmanuel Music Tuition

The Emmanuel Catholic College Music Department provides opportunities for students to study a variety of instruments, including voice, through external Peripatetic Tutors. Students who wish to be involved in the Program are requested to complete the attached Application Form and return it to the Director of Music to ensure adequate tutors can be appointed to meet demand.

Lessons are generally scheduled during school hours on a half-an-hour rotational basis to ensure the same class is not repeatedly missed, and students are required to ensure they catch up on any class work that they miss. Students are responsible for checking and attending their designated lesson times and should organise any rescheduled times with their tutors as soon as possible. Students can expect 8 lessons per term, 32 lessons in total per annum.

ECC Music students are encouraged to participate in a variety of musical opportunities such as Choir, Rock Band or one of the Instrumental Ensembles on offer, as involvement in these extracurricular activities enhance their learning experiences and improves the quality of their performance. Students will also have opportunities to perform in various annual events or public performances throughout the year.

Ensemble Preference (optional)
Involvement in music ensembles is a fantastic way to accelerate your musical development and make music with like-minded people! You will also gain opportunities to perform music at various events throughout the school year. It is highly recommended that all music students take part in the College Choir as this is an invaluable way to develop one’s musical ear and overall musicianship. Participation in a choir is known to improve aural awareness of pitch, rhythm and harmony and can deepen an individual’s understanding of the elements of music. Please indicate which Music Ensembles you would like to be involved with. A student can participate in multiple ensembles if they desire. All sheet music is supplied for these ensembles.
