Instrumental music program

Education Queensland's Instrumental music program was established by the Department of Education in Queensland state schools in 1971.

The program now boasts more than 400 instrumental music instructors (equivalent to over 300 full-time) teaching in excess of 50 000 students across the state.

Students learn band and orchestral instruments in small groups and participate in larger ensembles, such as concert bands and orchestras.

Educators and music industry professionals regard the Instrumental music program in Queensland as the finest and most extensive in the country. It is internationally recognised as a leader in the field of instrumental music education.

The program and its dedicated teaching staff are highly valued by Education Queensland and enjoy enormous support from the wider community.
