The overarching purpose of the co‐curricular Instrumental Music Program at Southport State High is to provide students with the opportunity to become musicians and experience the expressive qualities of music through learning to play a band or orchestral instrument and to participate in performance ensembles such as concert bands and string orchestras.
As a compatible and complementary curriculum to that of primary and secondary classroom music and Music Excellence programs, Instrumental Music provides opportunities for greater participation in music education for the whole school community as well as enrichment experiences for gifted and talented students.
