Musical Tuition
To help nurture and inspire the next generation of musicians, our Junior students receive a weekly 75-minute music lesson throughout Year 7 and in modules in Year 8 and 9,. This allows them the opportunity to learn how to play the ukulele, guitar and keyboard, as well as a wide selection of brass instruments, and develop compositional skills using a range of software packages.
Following on from these classes, many of our young men are inspired to continue their instrumental education through individual lessons with our outstanding team of more than twenty visiting music teachers, covering all disciplines (orchestral, vocal and popular).
To further enhance our music provision, we have been facilitating a music scholarship scheme for the past number of years in which boys entering the school can audition to receive free tuition on selected instruments, thus ensuring that the ‘endangered species’ of orchestral instruments do not get forgotten.
Many musicians choose GCSE and A-Level Music, where we have an excellent track record, and even in our departing Year 13 class, we have two Oxbridge organ scholars, two music conservatoire entrants and one drama college entrant, amongst other leavers studying a wide variety of subjects.
