Peripatetic Music Lessons

The Music department offers co-curricular music lessons with experienced, enthusiastic instrumental teachers, many of whom are also professional performers and composers. Lessons are offered on most orchestral instruments as well as voice, guitar and piano. 30 minute lessons are held weekly and follow a rotating timetable to ensure the same classes are not missed regularly. These are individual lessons and are an additional termly cost to the school fees.

Performance Opportunities

Our pupils are seen regularly performing in school events, throughout the community and even abroad to extend their performance skills and showcase their talents. The Music department hosts six instrumental concerts annually and encourages all pupils to take part to showcase their development and experience the true joy of performing for family and friends. Pupils all have the chance to take part in our school musicals and plays and are carefully cast to provide each child with a chance to shine.
