INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM – 2026 RECRUITMENT COMING SOON!

Aspley State School is proud to offer a well-established and thriving Instrumental Music Program, and preparations for the 2026 intake are about to begin!

This exciting opportunity is open to current Year 2 and Year 3 students who are interested in learning a woodwind, brass, percussion, or string instrument. The program is led by our experienced music team – Ms Christine Jabs (Woodwind/Brass/Percussion), Mrs Julianna Kim (Strings), and Mrs McIntyre (Specialist Classroom Music Teacher).

Families of Year 2 and 3 students will receive an Expression of Interest form with full details about the program on Friday 20 June 2025. This will be sent home in hard copy and also emailed to parents/carers.

To be considered for a place in the 2026 Instrumental Music Program, completed forms must be returned by Friday 25 July 2025. Late submissions cannot be accepted, so we encourage all interested families to return their forms on time.

Learning an instrument is a rewarding experience that helps students build confidence, develop focus, strengthen academic learning, and enjoy the fun of making music – both individually and as part of a group. We look forward to welcoming a new group of young musicians into our vibrant program in 2026!

For any questions, please contact Mrs McIntyre through the school office.
