MUSIC GROUPS AT MBIS
Beginner BandYour child doesn't need any previous music experience to learn a new instrument at MBIS. We offer flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet and trombone lessons. The group meets for one block (90 minutes) per week on a Wednesday during class time. There are free concerts during the year and a trip. The cost is $365 for 34 group lessons with expert tutors, tuition book, two trips and photocopying. Our Band Programme Information evening was held on Wednesday 15th November - don't panic if you missed it as you can read all about it HERE. From Term Two we also accept students who already play drums, percussion, keyboard as well. Contact Sarah Holmes if you're not sure which group is right for your child.

Concert BandThis group is for students who have played their instrument for one year or more. We include flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and trombone. We also have places for a bass keyboardist, drummers/percussionists and glockenspiel/vibraphone and will always welcome the more obscure instruments, e.g. French Horn, Bass Clarinet, Baritone Saxophone. The group meets one block per week for 90 minutes on a Thursday during class time. There are free concerts during the year and a trip. The cost is $365 for 34 group lessons with expert tutors, tuition book, two trips and photocopying. If your child has lessons outside of MBIS, they can still be in the Concert Band - you pay just $30 to cover trips and photocopying. Having lessons somewhere is a requirement to be in this group.
