Instrumental Music Program (IMP)

Year 5 and 6 Band

Majura Primary School has two bands - a Year 5 and a Year 6 band. Both bands have a variety of woodwind and percussion instruments. These groups are part of the ACT Instrumental Music Program. Students in Year 5 are assessed as to their suitability for participation in the program at the beginning of the school year through a listening test. No previous instrumental experience is required. The twenty-three students invited to join the band will have demonstrated co-operative team skills. A commitment to home practice is essential. Students continue in the band for two years. Costs are associated with participation in this program.
