Instrumental Music is a co-curricular activity which provides students with the opportunity to learn a musical instrument with a focus on ensemble performance. Each year our Music students have the opportunity of performing in a number of bands and ensembles within the school and throughout the wider community. Highlights of each year include bands competing in the Mount Gambier Jazz Festival and the Melbourne Bands Festival. Both of these events involve top music schools from across Australia. Each year Frankston High School has great success and these results are a great tribute to our highly talented teachers and students.
Tuition is available on a wide variety of instruments including flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, percussion, voice, piano, bass guitar and electric guitar. All students in the program must be a member of one of the major ensembles listed below, and are expected to attend all rehearsals, which are held once a week after school. All the ensembles give a number of performances throughout the year.
