Performing Arts
Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.
— Leonard Bernstein
Extensive research suggests that music has significant benefits for students’ academic studies by developing concentration, comprehension and dexterity. Studying a musical instrument assists children’s cognitive abilities.
Students undertake music classes at Kilvington from ELC to VCE and is compulsory to Year 8. Music can be chosen as an elective at Year 9 and studied at VCE from Year 10.
Instrumental & Choir
Focusing on the development of theoretical and compositional performance skills, in both group and solo, students will gain confidence performing in front of others in a fun, relaxed, engaging, and supportive environment.

I spent a lot of time as a child at the Yehudi Menuhin School in the UK, and I don’t think I have seen such skilful playing from young people since then as I did last night; just brilliant. The precision and professionalism of all the performances were amazing.
