Music

Musical excellence has long been synonymous with PLC Armidale, where musicians Flourish.

Many of our talented graduates have been placed in the top 10% of the State for their HSC and many are gaining selection to Conservatoriums of Music in Australia and around the world.

ACADEMIC AND CLASSROOM MUSIC

Offered as a subject from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 and Music may be chosen as an Elective subject in Years 9 – 12.

In addition to specialist music in the Junior School, all students participate in stage based choirs as singing is fundamental to the early development of musical skills and concepts such as pitch, rhythm and harmony.

Our small cohorts provide a safe space for students to try something new as well as a wonderful opportunity to tailor the musical programs to suit the interests of our students.
