A scene from the Buckley House musical

Music at Buckley House is active, creative and fun

The music program includes singing, listening, speech, movement, folk dancing and playing percussion instruments to encourage all students to enjoy music.

There is ample opportunity for students to perform throughout the year at both formal and informal concerts. Music Performance ensembles include the Senior Choir, Year 2 and 3 Singers, Concert Band, Senior Strings and the Dodemaide strings.

All students in Years 2 to 4 receive weekly instrumental tuition with students in Years 2 and 3 learning the violin, viola or the cello while students in Year 4 learn the flute, double bass, clarinet or the trumpet. Private music tuition is also available on a wide variety of instruments and voice.

The highlight of the musical program is the biennial musical production with all students in Prep to Year 6 appearing on stage.
