Kentucky Public School offers its students a broad range of musical opportunities and experiences. The school is the base for the State Small Schools Marimba Ensemble which has performed at the annual Schools Spectacular at the Sydney Entertainment Centre as well as the Opera House Choral and Instrumental Concert Series several times in recent years.
All students are involved in the school's marimba performance program. 
Marimbas are large xylophone type instruments based upon traditional African designs and are played by 2-3 students at once. The school has made and decorated its own marimbas as well as a wide selection of "wacky" percussion instruments and, more recently, a set of stringed echocellos. For more about our wonderful array of instruments, visit our "Amazing Instruments" link.
The school's students also take part in recorder tuition and choral activities regularly presenting items at community gatherings.
The Armidale Eisteddfod is a highlight of the local Creative Arts calendar at which Kentucky Public School regularly makes successful appearances.
