| Welcome to the Music Department |
| Introduction 2008 - 2009 |
| The musical tradition within the
school is strong both in and outside of the classroom.
Music is taught in small, mixed ability groups throughout
all the key stages and girls are encouraged to take
up and instrument from an early age. Many of our
students learn two instruments and some take lessons
both in and out of school. |
