Instrumental Flute lessons

Instrumental Flute Lessons at Colonel Light Gardens PS.-An Opportunity exists now! Students in years 5 – 7 can access free instrumental lessons provided by the DECD Instrumental Music Service. An Opportunity exists for students from Colonel Light Gardens to learn Flute. There are also band lessons several times a term at Edwardstown PS, where all the students play together. Carpooling is recommended. Skill on a musical instrument takes a long time to develop and requires students to make an individual commitment. Students need to practice their instrument most days (with support and encouragement from their family). We will work in Band towards school performances that are fun and highly rewarding. Our present students have performed both within and outside the school community, with some individuals rising to the challenge of the Primary Schools Festival of Music Orchestra, The Primary Schools Wind Ensemble, the annual Concert Band Workshop and have gained entry to one of the Special Interest Music Centres. Costs: Lessons are free BUT you will need to borrow, buy or hire an instrument. Instruments are available for hire through the Instrumental Music Service for $180 per year. If you intend on hiring an Instrumental Music Service Instrument, you will receive an invoice for your instrument hire from your school in Term 1, 2013.
