The Manukau Youth Orchestra string orchestra programme at Hillpark Primary School is open to year 5 & 6 students. On Monday and Wednesday students attend orchestra from 8:15am to 9am in the hall before school. On Monday each student attends one half hour smaller group lesson. Music lessons and instrument hire costs $90 per term.
Regular practise at home of 20-30 minutes five days a week is essential for students to progress. We also have free music reading games for violin, viola, cello and bass.

Your child will need to practise 20-30 minutes five days a week, attend before school orchestra rehearsals and attend concerts to stay in the programme. Students that continue in the next term get to keep the instrument over the holidays.
