This option is ideal for students with prior experience performing in a choral or solo setting. Enrolment will be capped at 12 people. All students enrolled must audition before mid-October of the previous year.
After completing enrolment, Performance Students should email the Office to advise which musical instrument/s they have chosen to study.
