Opportunity to enrol in band for next year

Umina Beach Public School students in Year 3 to 6 will have the opportunity to enrol in either a concert or training band In 2025.

The school enlists the services of the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music which provides the school with professional musicians who are experts in their own field.

They also organise the purchase of music, provide information on instruments and other musical equipment.

The bands play all types of instrumental music and learning is tailored to meet the differing abilities and experience of students.

No musical knowledge is required, just a love of music and a genuine desire to play an instrument.

It offers the opportunity to work together in a band and learn the basics of playing an instrument.

The concert band is the most senior band in the school with students ranging from Years 4 to 6.

Students are invited to join this band when a conductor from the Conservatorium deems them ready to take on the level of commitment of reading and playing harder pieces of music.

Whole band rehearsals are held weekly for an hour, and this is where students learn how to play together as a band.

In 2024, concert band rehearsals have been on a Tuesday and training band has been on Thursday, both starting at 8am.

Tutorials Students are given a half hour tutorial weekly, where they are given practical lessons on their instrument in a small group of up to 4 students.

They learn how to read notes and scores and work their way through technical music books.
