Proudly supported by the Hills Shire Council, the Symphonic Training Program provides the opportunity for young musicians. The training will be focused on well-known symphonies by famous composers. This training program will broaden their potential music career by building up classical orchestral music repertoires, as well as imparting to them the value of communication, teamwork, and discipline.

For the Junior Orchestra, the training will be basic symphonic skills including how to watch and follow a conductor and various orchestral etiquette. Especially those who play wind instruments, brass instruments, and percussion, they will learn new techniques that aren’t as widely used in a band setting as with an orchestra, requiring them to be more sensitive with their technical abilities.
