Music

What is Music?

Music at Winmalee High School is a course that provides students with individual and group musical skills, focusing on performance, composition and listening in a variety of contexts. We pride ourselves on strong and consistent HSC results each year which are regularly above state average with many students progressing onto tertiary music education. We support the developing musician to enhance their musical potential through Stages 4-6.

What does learning look like in Music?

Winmalee High School has quality facilities for our performing arts programs. Our Performing Arts Centre (PAC) allows for rehearsal space and an intimate performance area. With well-equipped music specialist rooms and a variety of musical instruments we cater for a wide range of performance opportunities.  Music has a computer laboratory with current and subject specific software such as Sibelius notation and Sony Acid. Winmalee High School has several large ensembles including a Concert Band, Jazz Band, String Ensemble, Vocal Groups, and guitar ensemble. We have devoted and dedicated students who have many opportunities at a local, regional and state level to further develop their musical skills. In recent years many students have been featured artists in prestigious programs such as PULSE, Schools Spectacular and the Talent Development Project. Many of our students also take part in the NSW Department of Education's Arts Unit music programs such as the NSW Public Schools Symphonic Wind Ensemble and NSW Public Schools Jazz Orchestra.

We would like to welcome you to the Dharug and Gundungurra land on which our school resides, acknowledging that though the surrounding environment has changed over time, the spiritual connection between the land and indigenous peoples remains. We would like to thank all those who gather and respect this connection. We would also like to pay our respects to elders both past and present and extend that respect to those with indigenous heritage within our school community. (Troy Zoernleib – Vice Captain 2022)
