Also known as ‘Super Band or PWEs’Â this is a musical extension program for primary school aged student musicians who play woodwind, brass or percussion instruments on the Central Coast. The ensemble aims to complement and enhance the learning and performance experiences gained in our school band program by challenging students who have already gained a high degree of musical proficiency at a young age.
SWO is a high-calibre symphonic wind ensemble program for high school student musicians who play woodwind, brass or percussion instruments and have gained a high-degree of musical proficiency on their instrument. The orchestra rehearses and performs challenging repertoire that compliments and enhances the learning and performance experiences gained in one-to-one lessons and school band programs.
Our flagship ensemble, the Central Coast Youth Orchestra is renowned in the community for its exceptional level of musicianship and captivating performances. CCYO is made up of the Central Coast’s top string, woodwind, brass and percussion students, many of whom represent our region at a state level as members of the Regional Youth Orchestra NSW.
In 2022 the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music relaunched our two choir programs:
In both choirs, students learn the basics of reading music, and beginner vocal techniques, including how to warm up their voices safely, how to sing beautifully together and with a conductor. Students also learn performance skills including understanding stage directions, and learning fun choreographed movements which will enable the students to present with confidence on stage. In 2022 both choirs performed with Opera Australia in their regional tour of Barber of Seville, Central Coast Philharmonia Choir and Central Coast Youth Orchestra.
In 2023 all our Premier Ensembles performed in four highly anticipated end-of-term Premier Ensembles Concerts.
Central Coast Conservatorium of Music is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW and the NSW Department of Education.
