At Toowong State School, students have the opportunity to participate in our Instrumental Music Program from Years 4 to 6.
Students can apply to join the program at the end of Year 3 through a selection process. Students enrolling at the school after Year 3 may also apply, with applications considered on a case-by-case basis.
Learning an Instrument
Students in the program can learn a range of instruments, including:
- Woodwind instruments
- Brass instruments
- Percussion
Lessons are delivered in small group sessions during school time, allowing students to develop their skills in a supportive environment.
Performance Opportunities
As students build their skills, they participate in the school band and perform as part of an ensemble.
Participation in the band supports:
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Confidence and performance skills

Costs and Equipment
Instrumental music tuition is provided free of charge.
A levy applies to cover consumables and resources associated with the program.
