PATHWAYS TO MUSIC EXCELLENCEA strong, purposeful relationship has been established between Sunshine Beach State School and Sunshine Beach State High School (SBSHS).

Nominated students are invited to participate in the middle school Band and Strings programs at SBSHS. Learners in year 6 are also offered the opportunity to audition for a music scholarship to SBSHS.

A music excellence class at SBSHS is designed to encourage the pursuit of excellence in music. Students in this class study music throughout years 7 and 8 and undertake more advanced performing and classroom music activities. Students are also eligible for membership in school ensembles, depending on instruments required.

MUSIC PROGRAMPARENT AND CARER INFORMATION

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM

SUNSHINE BEACH MUSIC PROGRAMMusic education is an integral part of the Australian National Curriculum and is a core learning area in which all learners from Prep to year 6 participate.

At Sunshine Beach State School we believe every child can achieve success through music. A positive and supportive environment is provided to encourage risk taking and active learning.

The classroom music program uses a developmental, sequential and cumulative approach to the teaching and learning of musical skills and concepts.

Students participate in a range of activities including reading, writing, creating, presenting and responding to music through the use of body movement, vocal and instrumental work.
