1 school where people talk about “violin” (with your filters).

Showing one school only. See every school where people talk about “violin”

Also counting related words: strings, string program, orchestra, viola, cello. Schools where “violin” itself comes up are listed first.

How we work these numbers out
  • Order. “Best match” puts schools where your exact word comes up first. “Most talked about” uses the share of reviews that mention it. Neither is a ranking of how good a school is.
  • Comes up in X% of reviews is the share of the school's reviews that mention your search. The Brisbane average is the same share across all Brisbane schools.
  • Speak well, mixed or raise concerns is worked out by software, using only the sentences about your search. It's right most of the time but not always, so read what people said.
  • What students did comes from the sports and activities former students ticked in their review. We show it when at least 3 answered.
  • Evidence is strong when 5 or more of at least 10 reviews mention it, some when 2 or more people do, and thin when only one person does.
  • Facts such as fees, ATAR and enrolments come from each school's own documents. Fees cover different year levels at different schools, so compare carefully.
  • Open Day Reflections come from our visits to 2026 open days. They're useful, but they reflect the school's own voice.

    Of 1 comment: 1 speaks well of it

    1 of 4 former students who listed their arts activities did Orchestra / Instrumental Music

    Review Chances to take part in the arts

    Very good - the instrumental music department is run by an incredible lady, who transformed the department from one big band and one senior band, to 6+ (probably more now) bands, ranging from a vocal group, string band, percussion ensemble and more. She did all this in just my six years at the school, by herself.

Reviews come from parents and former students whose link to the school we've checked. Open Day Reflections come from our recordings at 2026 open days. Words in [brackets] were unclear, and […] marks a skipped part. They reflect the school's own voice, so read them alongside the reviews. How reviews work
