Mazenod offers students the opportunity for tuition in Voice, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion and String instruments. Our teachers are all highly accomplished working musicians, from jazz maestros to performers in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. All instruments in the Orchestral program are hired from the College, thus avoiding the need to purchase during the initial stages.
Embracing the beauty and challenge of musicianship.

Music is an integral part of College life. While all students participate in classroom music in the Junior levels, students are given the opportunity to study instrumental music through to VCE levels. The ensembles emerging from this program are nationally recognised and awarded.

A well-established ensemble program is a highlight of College life, featuring two large Concert Bands, two Swing Bands, a Percussion group, a Symphony Orchestra, several String Ensembles and a variety of smaller chamber ensembles in Brass and Woodwind. Students are encouraged to perform regularly, with a number of chamber music evenings providing the opportunity for solo performance. The Concert Bands also compete annually at either State or National Championships. A special ensemble is arranged to support the production of the annual Mazenod and Avila musical, comprising the best of our student and staff musicians.
