At Lilydale High School we have qualified and experienced Instrumental Music teachers in Woodwind, Brass, Percussion/Drum Kit, Guitar, Piano and Voice readily available for students to learn and develop music skills on an instrument.
As part of the program, students will have one lesson per week on a rotating timetable throughout the term on their lesson day. This is to ensure lessons do not interfere with their studies. As part of their lessons, students will also gain experience performing as part of our band and ensemble program.
We have two different Instrumental Music Tuition Schemes:
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS – annual levy fee
- FLUTE
- SAXOPHONE
- CLARINET
- FRENCH HORN
- TRUMPET
- TROMBONE

Limited hire of woodwind and brass instruments is available through the school. Instrument hire fees are $150. By the second year of lessons, it is recommended that students purchase their own instrument to enhance their learning.
PRIVATE TUITION INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS – fees vary between instruments but comply with Victorian Music Teachers Association recommendations. Lessons require payment directly to the instrumental teacher and is a completely private arrangement between the student, parent/guardian and the instrumental teacher.

Once your child has been accepted into the program, you will be able to liaise directly with the Instrumental Staff.
