Music Programme
All students from Year1 to Year 7 participate in music activities for 45 minutes per week with a specialist teacher. Pre-Primary students have half an hour per week. Through singing, playing instruments, moving and dancing, listening, creating and responding to music, students have opportunities to develop skills and acquire understanding of the elements of music. Activities in the music programme assist in bringing out creativity in students, fostering team-work and awareness of others. Music in kindergarten classes is an integral part of daily activities helping develop auditory awareness, listening skills, speech and co-ordination. Music aids in teaching about such things as colour, counting and sequencing and gives the joy of creating.
Choir
The Glengarry School Choir currently has students from Years 5, 6 and 7 who enjoy singing together and performing at special school assemblies, choral festivals and community events. The students rehearse once a week during school time. A red T-Shirt with an embroidered logo is a distinctive part of the choir uniform. Glengarry Choir members are proudly maintaining the school's fine tradition of excellence in choral performance.

Instrumental Classes
The Department of Education and Training's School of Instrumental Music offers tuition in clarinet and brass to selected students from Years 6 and 7 at Glengarry Primary School. Weekly lessons in small groups are given in school time by qualified teachers/musicians employed through the School of Instrumental Music.

Way To Go Concert
This
annual event, organized and run by a dedicated committee of parents,
has a special place in the school year and is always eagerly anticipated
by the student population. Students make up their own musical items,
rehearse and audition for the opportunity to perform on stage at night
for an audience of friends and families.
