At Beaumaris Secondary College, our commitment to fostering musical talent goes beyond instrumental lessons. Ensembles and soloists take centre stage in various school events, adding a musical flair to school performances, informal lunchtime concerts, college assemblies, the college musical production, music soirees and community performances.
In addition, students immerse themselves in specialist workshops and music festivals, including renowned events like Stringfest, Bandfest, and Singfest hosted by the South-Eastern Victorian Region Instrumental Music Coordinators. These experiences not only provide opportunities for performance but also allow students to connect with young musicians from neighbouring schools and collaborate with celebrated facilitators from across Australia and overseas.
Participation in one of our core college ensembles is an expectation for all students undertaking instrumental lessons, offering a unique and valuable opportunity to develop performance skills within a vibrant and social environment.
Our Ensembles include:
Students also have the opportunity to audition for one of our extension ensembles at the end of each year. This is an opportunity for our more experienced students to gain further skills and be challenged further by our amazing music teachers. Students in an extension ensemble must continue their core ensemble if successful in joining an extension ensemble.
