Music

Music is not only about fine-tuning the ear for harmonic form, it also aids in the development of strong creativity and communication abilities, emotional intelligence and collaboration. Students at Mentone Girls’ Grammar have the opportunity to enhance their musical ability through private or shared tuition and by participating in
various ensembles.

I have always found music to be a form of self-expression and creativity, and I am privileged to be in a school community where music consistently seeks to inspire and connect with others. With so many music groups, such as orchestra, string ensembles, and chamber groups, my peers and I are able to create a positive and memorable environment through the expressive power of music.
