Classroom Music
Classroom music at Halidon is based on the WA Curriculum Framework and guided by the music specific pedagogies of Kodaly and Orff.
Students from Pre Primary to Year 6 attend weekly music lessons with a specialist music teacher in a well-resourced music room. Halidon is fortunate to have a wide variety of quality musical instruments. Students learn about the elements of music (rhythm, pitch, dynamics, expression, timbre, texture and form) by engaging in a variety of musical experiences such as singing, listening, moving, playing instruments and creating. Technology is incorporated into the learning process with the use of iPads.
Instrumental Tuition
The specialised study of instrumental music further enhances student learning in music at Halidon.
The scholarship program offered through the Instrumental Music School Services is aimed at those students who show keen interest and aptitude in music, and who are prepared to make an ongoing commitment to musical activity. Selected year five and six students are offered tuition in clarinet, brass or classical guitar. Small group lessons are provided weekly by qualified music teachers employed through the Department of Education and Training. Students have the opportunity to attend instrumental workshops, perform at special assemblies and join a training band at a local high school.
