Music
The College is looking to develop its ensemble program through the support of various lesser-known concert band and orchestral instruments. An area that the College would like to further develop is to see more students playing the:
- Bassoon
- Trombone, Euphonium and Tuba
- Double Bass
As part of the program, the College will support payment of tuition and instrumental hire. It is preferable that the student is already learning an instrument, such as piano, so they can make the transition with ease.
If your daughter is interested in this exciting performance opportunity and to join the dynamic music department, please send through an expression of interest to musicadmin@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au.

Expressions of interest close Friday 11 November 2022. Following this date, students will be interviewed and will need to perform on their current instrument.
2023 Internal Music Tuition Scholarships
Applications for the 2023 Internal Music Tuition Scholarships are now open. Each scholarship is open to any pupil in the College from Year 6 to Year 11 (2022). Current holders of Academic or Music Performance Scholarships covering school fees are not eligible for Music Tuition Scholarships.
A high standard of performance is expected although scholarships on musical instruments other than piano may be awarded on musical potential. The expectation is that Scholarship winners will contribute to the musical life of the College through participation in Co-curricular Performing Ensembles. The categories are:
- Junior Music Tuition Scholarship which includes students in Years 6, 7 and 8 (2022)
- Senior Music Tuition Scholarship which includes students in Years 9, 10 and 11 (2022)
- The Miss Gunn Memorial Scholarship for Piano is only open to girls of the standard of Grade 6 or higher (any age or year)
- Organ Music Tuition Scholarship is open to any girl who already has advanced keyboard skills (Piano Grade 6 and above) to learn to play the Chapel Organ.
