Any student, whether studying music or not, who is interested in being involved, should look for notices around the College and on the Student Portal, or see the Head of Music.
MUSIC THEORY CLASSES Music Theory classes are open to all students who would like to develop music reading and writing skills. Activities are manageable and students work at their own pace. These classes are required for students studying A Level Music but are also open to all College students. Students are submitted for graded exams with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and gain UCAS points for the higher grades.
PERFORMANCES Concert performances are a significant part of College life. Not only do we produce a range of in-house recitals and concerts, but we frequently perform in some of the best venues locally and internationally.
LU N C H T I M E R E C I TA L S Every week there is an opportunity for students to attend or perform in College recitals, whether as a soloist or in ensemble. This is a great opportunity to try new works and is a forum for students to perform with their own bands and ensembles, or to exhibit their own compositions in a really comfortable and supportive environment. Some of the best performers also perform in public recitals, promote their groups as small businesses, and some decide to compete in either local, national or international competitions.
TUITION Music tuition is offered at a highly subsidised rate, to all students at College, catering for beginners right up to Grade 8.
