Music and band

Music at SHS

The Music Co-curricular program at Sylvania High School offers all students vocal and instrumental opportunities. We have ensembles to cater for different styles and levels of abilities. Sylvania High School has an extensive instrumental program where students can play in one or more of the school’s music ensembles.

The program is managed by the Music Coordinator and specialist tutors are brought in to lead the music ensembles. The Music Performance Program is very active and has a variety of activities throughout the year. All instrumental students, regardless of where they learn, are encouraged to participate in the school’s many ensembles. These provide a wonderful opportunity for students to be part of school life, make friends and share their talents. Joining the vocal ensemble is a great way to become involved in the musical life of the school and no formal vocal tuition is required.

Performance opportunities for students include performances at school, community functions and concerts.
