Music Tuition - Information Booklet 2009 (PDF)

Donvale Christian College has launched two Instrumental Programs designed to form the foundation of our school ensembles. The Primary Instrumental Program (PIP), offered to students in Years 3 to 6 and the Junior Secondary Instrumental Program (JSIP), offered to students in Years 7 and 8.Both subsidised programs will run for one year only, after this time tuition is made available through the core instrumental program of the school.

This is an exciting opportunity to introduce your child to a musical instrument and to be involved in an initiative that will ultimately form dynamic and professional ensembles representing Donvale Christian College. This program will promote and encourage fun, teamwork, and will provide experiences to be remembered by students in years to come.
