An unexpected problem involving the shift of Year 7 from primary school to high school has been resolved with the announcement of more than $2.46 million in funding for State secondary school music education.<\/p>\n

The hitch surrounded musical instruments… would the instruments that Year 7 students were currently using in primary school stay there? Or would they be physically moved to a high school along with the students. <\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> understands that some music teachers were worried primary schools and high schools would end up having to share instruments.<\/p>\n

However on Friday, the State Government announcement that $2.46 million had been allocated across Queensland for secondary schools to buy more instruments and equipment.<\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington welcomed the announcement and said the funding would benefit instrumental programs at Kingaroy and Nanango State High Schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is fantastic news for Kingaroy SHS and Nanango SHS, who are amongst 226 State schools around the state sharing in an additional $1 million to buy more instruments and equipment,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKingaroy will receive an additional $4712 and Nanango will receive $3733 for new instruments.”
\n<\/strong>
\nMrs Frecklington said the extra funding would also help employ an additional 16.7 full-time equivalent instrumental music teachers across Queensland. <\/p>\n

“Plus it will cater for the move of Year 7 into secondary school in 2015 and ensure students have access to the instruments and expertise they need.”<\/p>\n

Having the extra instruments available in the primary schools won’t go to waste, either.<\/p>\n

From 2015, Year 4 students will be able to study woodwind, brass and percussion instruments at school for the first time, a year earlier than the current Year 5 starting point. <\/p>\n

This will help primary schools “fill out” their band membership despite the loss of Year 7 students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis additional funding will help students to develop their music skills across a range of instruments earlier and help schools to maintain quality bands,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
