Enrolling in specific subjects

I understand that if I wish to enroll in the following subjects then I require Grade 5 theory as a prerequisite. A maximum of two will be offered in any given year. Exact subjects depend on numbers and staffing.

• Grade 6 Music Theory
• Arranging/Composition (minimum Grade 5 Theory prerequisite)

Percussionists only

A Feature of the WBG Music School each year is the provision of specialised percussion tuition. Time is allocated every day to develop students’ reading skills and techniques on tuned and untuned percussion.

For the school to best cater to increasing enrolment levels, all students are expected to bring their own instruments, sticks, and mallets. Please note that a drum pad, snare drum (or kit), and a tuned percussion instrument (for melodic training) are the minimum requirements.

Please ensure that all of your equipment is clearly labeled with your name.

The following criteria must be met to enrol as a percussion student

• Must be 10 years and above the age
• Must have basic reading and writing skills
• Must play percussion in a band
• May be required to bring a drum kit to the Music School
• Must have at least 2 pairs of drumsticks
• Must bring a music stand
• Must bring a set of earplugs
• A basic student model glockenspiel (with appropriate mallets) would be suitable for the tuned percussion component of the course.
• Please ensure that all of your equipment is clearly labeled with your name.
