Band

School band

At Mimosa Public School we believe in a comprehensive education where traditional academic subjects co-exist with the creative arts and sport, to provide a well-rounded learning experience for all children.

All students in Year 3 to Year 6 are invited to join the Mimosa band program.

The Mimosa band program provides outstanding opportunities for children to learn an instrument develop as a musician and enjoy the social benefits of interacting with other children in the band program.

Discipline and organisational skills are instilled in the children as they are required to attend twice weekly band rehearsals, lessons with their instrument tutors and complete regular instrument practice at home.

Children also develop confidence and leadership by regularly participating in band performances for the school and the community throughout the year.

In addition, research has proven that students who study music have better language and math skills and better spatial-temporal reasoning.

A love and appreciation of music is for life—be inspired!
