From our beginnings in 1885 as a Choir School, we have a proud history of music education. Music is central to the life of our school. While the Cathedral Choir has a reputation for developing quality vocalists, the School has also played a major role in the development of professional concert musicians and actors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">Our focus is on bringing our students into a community bound to excellence. We know the importance of strong relationships \u2013 the support of a devoted and expert mentor is essential in any successful music programme \u2013 and our teachers and tutors have the perfect balance of outstanding educational qualifications as well as professional experience as performers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-font-azo has-blue-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Our teaching team across Performing Arts draws upon professional performance careers, technical knowledge of performing arts, and backgrounds in a range of subject specific specialisations such as acting, conducting, instrumental and vocal pedagogy, ethnomusicology, improvisation, theatre production and musical theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Music can be experienced in the classroom, in ensembles and through individual tuition on an instrument or voice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">The Music Department engages a large number of visiting instrumental teaching staff, covering a wide range of vocal, string, wind, brass, keyboard and percussion instruments. Individual and group lessons are offered weekly during term time. Each student who is learning privately is encouraged to participate in Music Ensembles. These ensembles are graded so that each student can be placed into a group appropriate to their level of proficiency. These activities are designed to supplement and extend the work that is covered in private lessons and also to provide performance opportunities at various concerts that are arranged during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classroom Music can be selected as an elective subject in Year 10, and is studied by all students in Year 7. Opportunities are also available to attend international music and drama tours, and a musical or major drama production takes place in professional venues in alternate years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senior College music ensembles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-black-color has-text-color\">Alongside the individual and group lessons offered weekly during term time, students are encouraged to participate in an ensemble. These ensembles are graded so that each student can be placed into a group appropriate to their level of proficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default has-black-color has-text-color\">The ensembles on offer currently are listed below.
