Classroom Music is engaging, inspiring and fun
The Plenty Classroom Music Program includes singing, movement, music games, ensemble work and performance. Students learn key concepts such as beat, rhythm and pitch. These skills are put to use through singing together, playing instruments together, composing and improvising. Students learn to critique one another in a safe environment where they are encouraged to take creative risks. In Music, children experience playing marimbas, guitars and the drum kit as well as a variety of hand held percussion instruments. Children in Years 2 and 3 have weekly lessons on violin, viola or cello as part of their Classroom Music Program, and perform as a class ensemble at Soirees.

Visual Arts
The Visual Arts program at Plenty Primary provides students with opportunities to express themselves through their art works - to record what they see and know, to explore their imaginations, to express what they feel, and to experience the joy of creating and making.
The Plenty Primary Art Studio is an exciting, well-resourced space where students are encouraged and stimulated to think, plan, discuss, research, experiment, make, share, evaluate and present. A positive environment where effort and creativity are valued is promoted, and students understand that artworks are individual and we think and respond in our own unique ways.

The Visual Arts program is based on classroom Integrated Units, following the interests of children and the development of specific art areas. Skills are taught through practical activities and children understand that each art area has particular tools, media and techniques to be learnt.
By viewing and responding to the work of other artists, children expand their own language of art and come to understand, appreciate and develop aesthetic values of their own.
