MUSIC DEPARTMENT

 

The Music Department is proud of its diverse and committed range of students. The School is served by a team of peripatetic staff, who also teach the full range of orchestral instruments, singing and percussion. There are many extra curricular activities including: the Junior and Senior Orchestras, several choirs, a percussion ensemble and various chamber groups. Concerts are staged termly and we have enjoyed collaboration with the Drama Department in the staging of musicals, such as last summer's Oliver!, which was a great success.
