At Noranda, music is a fun, exciting, and important part of every child’s learning. All students take part in weekly music lessons where they sing, move to music, and explore sounds in creative and hands-on ways.

Throughout the year, students get to play a wide range of instruments—including various tuned and untuned percussion, ukulele, and keyboard. We’ve recently expanded our popular bucket drumming unit, giving students even more opportunities to develop rhythm, coordination, and teamwork in a fun and engaging way.

Our music program encourages creativity, builds confidence, and helps students learn to listen closely and work together. We use games, songs, movement, and lots of practical activities to ensure every child is actively involved and enjoying their learning.

Choir

As they move into the upper years, students have the opportunity to join our school choir, which is open to children in Years 4 to 6. The choir rehearses regularly and performs at school and community events throughout the year. A highlight is our participation in One Big Voice—a spectacular massed choir festival held at Perth Arena, where students sing alongside thousands of their peers from across Western Australia.

Instrumental Music Lessons - (IMSS Program)

We also offer an Instrumental Music program for selected students, beginning in Year 5. This program provides small group lessons on specific instruments, such as flute, classical guitar or brass, with specialist teachers, giving students the chance to develop their skills further as part of their school week.

At Noranda, we believe every child can grow through music—and we celebrate their journey every step of the way.
