Class Music Programme

The schools Music Programme offers a number of opportunities for students to develop and extend talents. The aim of our School Music Programme is to expose students of all abilities to a range of musical experiences, in an attempt to extend their musical knowledge. The school places great emphasis on this and performance to an audience.

Music Tuition Programme

At Havelock North Intermediate School students have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Professional music tutors teach flute, guitar, cello, brass, percussion, clarinet, keyboard, violin, saxophone and the bagpipes. There is a charge for these lessons but it is far cheaper than private lessons. We also have some instruments that students can hire for the first year. Please refer to the Music Tuition pamphlet enclosed in the enrolment pack.

Orchestra and Symphonic Band

Each year we have an excellent Orchestra and Symphonic Band. These groups provide the oportunity for those students who have been learning a musical instrument for 2 or more years to practise and perform together. The Orchestra & Symphonic Band perform in formal occasions at school as well as joins in the yearly Masterton Cultural Exchange.

Music Theory Class

There is an opportunity for yur child to attend a music theory class. Students work towards the ABRSM exams. There is an additional cost involved in this activity.
