ABOUT
The Oz Schools Instrumental Championships -
a competition for Australia's best up-and-coming musicians.
The Oz Schools Instrumental Championships (OSIC) is an event dedicated to celebrating and nurturing the musical talents of school-age students across Australia. Over 10 weeks, outstanding young musicians will come together to showcase their talents, and compete for a state championship title in piano, strings, drums and guitar. Top placing students from each state are invited to progress to a national final.
Our mission is to inspire, educate and elevate the next generation of musicians. OSIC is an opportunity to gain performance experience, expert feedback and recognition in music performance.
