Our Instrumental Music program is offered to all Merrimac State High School students. There is a Student Resource Scheme Fee.
This program broadens the musical, intellectual and cultural horizons of our students as well as fostering self-esteem, confidence and team work. Being part of the Instrumental Music program enables students to have a powerful means of expression and communication. Students learn orchestral or band instruments through instruction on a group basis and are extended through participation in concert band, stage band, brass, percussion and string ensembles.
Students in the Instrumental Music program have at least two contact periods per week, one in an instrumental lesson and at least one in an ensemble rehearsal. The Instrumental Music program assists in the preparation for students looking for a career in the music industry as well as developing students into lifelong learner.

- School concerts
- Presentation Night
- Cluster Workshop
- Twilight Tunes
- Band Tour
- Community events,
