Instrument Exchange

Many families have sons or daughters who currently learn an instrument. Many families have instruments at home that are no longer played by anyone in the family. Now, at Newington, there’s a way to pass your instrument onto enthusiastic new musicians. The Creative Arts Association has established a Second Hand Instrument Exchange to deal with unwanted instruments. All details and forms are below

Music Ensembles

Across our three campuses, Newington offers a great variety of ensembles for our boys. All abilities and all musical tastes are considered and ensembles are reviewed on a regular basis. The Music Department is committed to being as inclusive as possible in order to meet the changing needs of our boys.

In order to maximize musical growth and development in any person of any age and ability, ensemble music making must be a learning experience that makes tangible links between all musical experiences. At Newington, as well as developing solid group skills, our ensemble philosophy is centred around the reinforcement of concepts presented in academic music classrooms.
