Music

Through a diverse range of musical activities and learning experiences, students at TAS develop their respect and appreciation for music as an art form.

This is achieved via a comprehensive, well-integrated and all-inclusive curriculum in which every student is given the opportunity to develop a life-long passion for music, foster a sense of achievement and perform in an educational environment where musical excellence can be realised.

It is through a broad range of curricula at TAS that a strong knowledge, understanding and appreciation of both modern and classical conventions as well as various world music traditions are promoted in a relatable manner. The learning environment at TAS incorporates a range of activities catering to individual learning styles and fostering experiential learning in a ‘sound-before-symbol’ environment. An extensive range of state-of-the-art technologies are used throughout the Music Department, to support music education.

We also offer a comprehensive range of performance groups to complement our classroom work: TAS Singers, Chapel Choir, Junior Choir, mixed vocal ensembles, Jazz Band, Big Band, Rock Band and many other groups to suit all ages and abilities.

The school is also privileged to have access to a range of highly talented peripatetic instrumental and vocal teachers, whether students wish to pursue formal qualifications such as AMEB grades, or simply to become more competent performers.
