Learning through Music
A Place to Discover, Develop and Perform
Music at Velora is a vibrant and integral part of school life. From first musical experiences in the Junior School to advanced ensembles, performance pathways and VCE study, girls are encouraged to explore music as a form of expression, collaboration and leadership.
Our program is deliberately broad and sequential. Whether a student is discovering her voice, learning an instrument for the first time, composing, performing in an ensemble or pursuing music at an advanced level, there are multiple entry points, and opportunities to grow.
Pathways
Music at Velora is thoughtfully structured to support students at every stage of their schooling.
Junior School
In the early years, students are introduced to music through singing, movement and ensemble participation. Choirs and introductory instrumental ensembles provide accessible entry points, building confidence, listening skills and a love of music.
Middle Years
As students progress, opportunities expand to include a broader range of ensembles, instruments and performance experiences. Music learning becomes more specialised, while remaining inclusive and supportive.
Senior School
Senior students can participate in advanced and auditioned ensembles, take on leadership roles within the music program, and pursue music as an academic subject, including VCE Music Performance. Performance, collaboration and musical excellence are balanced with creativity and personal expression.
