The Foundation Music School consists of a teaching room, computer suite, concert room, recording facilities, band room and five individual practice rooms which is open for students, including some evenings and weekends. It is attached to our 500-seat Prince Edward Auditorium with full stage and lighting facilities for concerts. The auditorium also has a Yamaha grand piano.

With 12 visiting music tutors providing weekly individual lessons on a rotational timetable in piano, violin, cello, trumpet, flute, clarinet, saxophone, voice, guitar, drums and music theory, students are prepared for NZMEB, Associated Board and Trinity College examinations and students can use their skills to gain NCEA credits. 

There are regular opportunities for music students to perform in assemblies, in the classroom, at regular concerts both as individuals and as members of our various music groups.
