Itinerant Music Lessons
The Itinerant Music Programme is funded by the Ministry of Education to encourage students to either try or to continue learning an instrument or voice in small groups during the school day. Itinerant means professional teachers travel or itinerate between different schools in the region to deliver lessons in their instruments. Sacred Heart College has six Itinerant music teachers, who each teach up to 4 hours a week at school.
Itinerant music lessons are offered to all students attending Sacred Heart College.
Group lessons are free of charge.
Each group lesson has between 2-8 students and runs for half an hour, once a week, during the school day.
