PhilosophyThe Redlynch State College Instrumental Music
Program aims to provide tuition on a wide range of
musical instruments for the purpose of enjoyment,
expression and self-development. The program
aims to create and enhance opportunities for
positive achievement and promote excellence in
performance.
The program also aims to provide opportunities for
social interaction and community involvement
through public performance. Students will learn to
perform in public and learn to accept responsibility
for the reputation of Redlynch State College and the
Instrumental Music Program.
For most people, music is an integral part of life. All students can derive
considerable fulfillment and enjoyment from music education, not only those who
show a particular talent. The skills, concepts and attitudes that children acquire as
a result of their music education should be those that benefit them not only in their
school years, but also in the years beyond. Music programs in a wide range of
musical experiences are more likely to develop in students an understanding of,
and sensitivity towards music. This will give them a better chance to find meaning
in music, becoming aware of the value of music in their own lives and the lives of
others.

Redlynch State College has a number of instruments that can be loaned to
students in the first year of the program. In the case of Flute, Clarinet, Alto
Saxophone and Trumpet, the loan period shall not exceed one school year (unless
an extension has been negotiated with the teacher), at which time the parents are
asked to buy an instrument for their students. Instruments that have a 2 year loan
period are Tenor Saxophone, Trombone and Cello. Parents are not expected to
purchase the larger, more expensive instruments. These include Euphonium,
French Horn, Bass Clarinet, Baritone Sax, Tuba and Double Bass. These
instruments can continue to be borrowed from the school, as long as the student
continues to demonstrate the required commitment.
All instruments are required to be returned at the end of each year on the date
advised by the instructor. A two-year or continual loan instrument may be kept by
the student over the Christmas holiday break as long as the relevant loan form is
completed and returned to the teacher. Any student borrowing a school instrument
must first complete an EQ11- External request for Equipment form. This is to be
returned to their teacher before they may loan the instruments. No instrument will
be given to a student whose parent or caregiver has not signed and returned the
EQ 11 form. The conditions of the Loan Agreement are a legal bond between the
parent/guardian and the school. Please read the conditions carefully. If a student

students to be able to practice at home.
Borrowing School Instruments

fails to comply with the conditions of the agreement, the loan of
the school instrument may be terminated.
There is an instrument loan levy to be paid at the beginning of the
year (please see information in left hand column). This fee needs
to be paid in full (or a payment plan arranged with the school
payments office) before an instrument is given to the student.
This levy assists with the service and maintenance of the
instruments. The levy is dependent on the size and complexity of
each instrument, as well as the cost of purchasing a replacement
instrument.
Any repairs needed, as a result of willful damage or negligence by
the student, will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian. The
school will meet the cost of servicing, maintainence and normal
repairs due to wear and tear. Full consultation with the school is
required before any repairs are undertaken on an instrument
belonging to the school.
Students wanting to learn Violin and Viola in the strings program
are required to purchase their own instrument to begin.
Unfortunately we have no Violins or Violas to loan to students
through the school.
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
Please see the booklist in your acceptance package to ensure
you have the required equipment for your students instrument. It
is essential that all the required equipment is purchased prior to
commencing lessons.
13
LessonsStudents take lessons each week, which run for 30
minutes in class time. Instrumental teachers
complete timetables each term based on a rotation
system so that the student does not miss the same
lesson each week.
Copies of the timetable are given to the student,
form/class teacher, music teacher and are also
displayed at the music and administration block. It
is the responsibility of each student to know his/her
lesson time. Students must see their teacher at the
beginning of the day if they cannot attend a lesson.
Teachers will do their best to arrange another time
for the lesson, but it is not always suitable.
There is an instrument storeroom in the Performing Arts Block (7-12
Campus) for students who do not wish to carry their instruments with them
all day. Their instruments can be placed in the storeroom before school.
Primary students can store their instruments in their classrooms. Although
the music department takes all due care of instruments, the school cannot
be held responsible for the loss or damage of instruments left in storage.
It is compulsory for each student to attend their timetabled lesson, ensemble rehearsals and all concerts and functions as required. Students
who are absent from any of the above must present a signed parental/guardian note with sufficient explanation. If a student is absent
without explanation, twice or more in one term, the student may be withdrawn from the program altogether. Parents/Guardians will be
contacted before any decision is made. Because students only have one 30 minute lesson, per week, it is imperative that they do not miss
lessons.
Students involved in ensembles are required to purchase a black display folder to keep music in. All music issued for the ensemble will
remain the property of the school. Lost or damaged original music will need to be paid for. As copyright laws have been passed regarding the
copying of music, Redlynch State College has adopted a policy of only using original music wherever possible. If an original part is lost or
damaged, this may result in the whole ensemble arrangement no longer being able to be used (at an approximate cost of $120 each).

HOW TO PRACTICE
What is needed?
# Instrument
# Music
# Music Stand
# Chair with a straight back
# Pencil
Where should I practice?
In a quiet enclosed room- turn off the TV and music. It is best to practice where there are no other people or unknowingly you will ‘perform’ rather than practice. With each tutor book, there is a CD provided. Play along with the CD as part of your practice.
How often should I practice?
Daily practice achieves more than irregular practice, but as a guideline, at least 5 times per week.
How long should I practice?
At least 15-20 minutes in your first year, 20-30 minutes in your second year and 30 minutes and above after that. When students are just beginning they may need to break their practice session down into smaller chunks to allow them time to build up their muscle memory, breath control and stamina.
