Learning a Musical Instrument
All students who enrol in the Clayfield College Instrumental Program are expected to participate in an instrumental ensemble to further enhance their ensemble performance skills.
Owing to Clayfield College’s emphasis on supportive skill development and individual student improvement upon their instrument, tuition is available on woodwind, brass, percussion (from Year 5), piano and string instruments (from Year 2) and voice (from Year 6). and string instruments at the college. Each instrument requires very different specific skills and ensemble involvement is more rewarding for all involved where students are improving consistently with the assistance of the specialist Instrumental tutors at Clayfield College.
