Year 7 Instrumental Music Program

The music staff would like to welcome our new Year 7 students to Newcomb Secondary College. All Year 7 students are given the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. They will have a trial period on a brass, woodwind or percussion instrument during term one to help them decide what instrument they would like to learn. All students in 74 (ECO) will undertake instrumental music as a compulsory part of their music studies. More information will be given to students in the first couple of weeks of school.
