We are very excited to be able to offer some amazing opportunities for students here at Corpus Christi, one of them being the Instrumental Program. We are actively seeking new students who would like to learn an instrument at school in 2025.

The lessons take place during class time on the day the tutor is at school (notified on the Compass timetable) and are rotated so students don’t miss the same lessons twice. They are 30 minutes in duration and take place in the music practice rooms. Students then return to their normal classes. Last year, (and continuing this year) lessons were held on a Tuesday however with many of the students returning for lessons this year, another day will more than likely open up.

We have amazing tutors here at Corpus Christi and there have had some major successes with past students. We have active musicians in a number of Aria Nominated bands including award winners, many students have gone on to be involved in the Entertainment fields of recording, film and television composing, concert and festival organisation and studio musicians. In 2023, four of our Yr 12 students were awarded a Band 6 for their HSC music performances including one who received an Encore nomination for outstanding HSC presentations. Many of these students started learning their instruments with the tutors in the Instrumental Program and it’s wonderful to celebrate their successes.

Fees for the instrumental Program are $40 for a private, 30 minute lesson paid directly to the tutor. This is a very reasonable rate and much lower than many private tutors and the Conservatorium of Music are charging.

For more information on learning DRUMS, GUITAR (Electric and Acoustic) and BASS please drop me an email at lappanj01@dow.catholic.edu.au and I will organise an introduction to the tutor and send an EOI form.
