Music Curriculum

Music is a strength of Brighton Grammar. A core subject from Pre-School through to Year 8, music can be studied formally at VCE level or experienced informally through involvement in one of the School's many ensembles.

Boys can acquire music literacy and performance skills in a wide range of orchestral and keyboard instruments, vocal studies and theory. The School's orchestras, concert bands, choirs and chamber ensembles offer many opportunities for students throughout the School to develop their skills and expand their cultural awareness.

Drama opens up a new world of experience for the boys. They learn in an active way about self-expression, group co-operation, improvisation, script writing, social and personal issues and the nature of theatre making.

Within the Art curriculum, boys can experiment with print making or kinetic sculpture, mask making or cross-media techniques. They can study the way in which art reflects the society in which it is created. Or, they can find new ways to express how they think and feel about themselves and their world.
