The Instrumental Music School Services is holding a series of band workshops for Year 5 and 6 students. The purpose of this excursion is to provide the opportunity for instrumental music students to engage musically with a wider range of peers and teachers, and to extend their playing experience beyond regular instrumental lessons.

Your child has been invited to participate in an IMSS Primary Band Workshop and will be working alongside beginner students from three feeder primary schools. This exciting event has been created to help support the musical development of young wind, brass and percussion students. Details are below:
