Music educators agree that a concert band is the most effective and enjoyable way for students to begin their music studies. The concert band provides the platform to bring together all of the benefits previously mentioned throughout this presentation. Concert band instruments include Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Percussion to name a few. Brass, Woodwind and Percussion instruments are taught from Years 3 or 4 depending upon age. Musicorp also operates Guitar, String and Keyboard programs in selected schools from Years Prep (reception) depending in which Australian State your school is located.
Musicorp Staff will introduce students to various instruments. Your students will hear them being played and then have an opportunity for a hands-on experience with the instruments.This is the best way to gauge student interest levels. Demonstrations are generally limited to 2-3 classes at one time and take about 30 minutes. An expression of interest form is then distributed outlining the benefits of music participation and costs involved.

Musicorp's experienced instrumental music teachers will provide students with a dynamic music making experience. Weekly group lessons of half an hour’s duration are available in woodwind, brass, percussion and in selected schools, strings and keyboards. The purpose of the weekly group lessons is threefold: to provide a foundation in musicianship and fine motor skills; to encourage students to be active listeners; and to enhance the students’ enjoyment of music study,by enabling them to share the experience with their family and peers.
Under the direction of a trained conductor, students continue their musical journey by participating in a school ensemble. Here children will develop a greater understanding of the responsibility of being part of a team. Making music together will inspire greater cooperation and encourage students to show respect for others. There is nothing like the thrill of performing well, in front of friends and family in an ensemble. Musicorp encourages performances every term to maintain the profile of music within the school community.
Musicorp Teachers are required to follow a fundamental music curriculum designed to focus learning throughout the year. Assessment is an important part of the curriculum; it illustrates the level of achievement and progress through a detailed assessment criteria. Comprehensive report cards are issued by Musicorp teachers once a semester or in accordance with school expectations.
Musicorp provides the opportunity for students to participate in various workshops held throughout the year. Under expert musical direction, the workshops are specifically designed to further develop the skills of instrumental music students learning a brass, woodwind or percussion instrument.
