Echuca College offers an extensive Instrumental Music program. Staffed by a range of highly experienced musicians, we offer your child a rewarding learning experience, one that will stay with them for all their lives. Music students at Echuca College have the opportunity to perform in school bands and school productions. In addition to that, many well-documented studies have shown that Music Education enhances personal and academic development.
A 2013 inquiry by the Victorian Parliament’s Education and Training Committee found that:
‘Music is an essential element of a child’s education because of its intrinsic value and role in developing the whole child … In addition to the intrinsic value of learning about music, music education can have other benefits for students, including enhanced student engagement and wellbeing; social development; and possibly contributing to learning in other subject areas.
