Waverley Primary School - The Music Partnership

Welcome!

Waverley Public School currently has 2 school bands.

We have a Training Band for children in their first year of learning an instrument. Training Band is open to children in Years 2 and above.

We also have a Senior Band for children that have completed at least 1 year of training band or who have been learning their instrument for 1 year or more.

All children attend private or paired instrumental lessons during the week in addition to their weekly band rehearsal.
