Pittsworth State High School has a proud tradition of excellence in our Instrumental Music Program. This brochure is designed to provide parents with an overview of the Program’s operations and requirements.

The Instrumental Music Program provides courses of study in a variety of instrumental subjects and includes ensembles and band training. Many of the Instrumental Music Program activities take place outside normal school hours, for example, lunchtime or before school rehearsals, performances at outside venues or school events at night or during the weekend.

Membership of the Instrumental Music Program demands extra time, effort and commitment to ensure that schoolwork does not suffer. Teamwork is essential.

Parents are strongly urged to participate in this group, which ensures that all the necessary support is given for the program to function.

The IMPSG generally deals with the ongoing need for fundraising, making decisions on the purchase of instruments and other equipment and most importantly, making arrangements for performances. Some parents assist the music teachers with general administrative and organisational tasks. A significant amount of fundraising is planned for the year, without which the provision of a range of music, purchase of instruments and continued development of the program would not be possible. Parents are requested to make every effort with each our fundraising initiatives.

Remember, all our efforts are for the benefit of your son/daughter. We look forward to seeing you at the many music events in our calendar. Meeting dates are advertised in the school newsletter and are usually held on a Wednesday afternoon starting 3:30pm.
