School calendarMusic
Music is taught to all pupils from the Nursery to Year 8. The Pre-Prep pupils have one lesson a week in which singing is the main focus incorporating the use of percussion.
As the pupils progress through the years the emphasis shifts more towards working on computers using the Music Ace Maestro, Groovy Music and Sibelius music programs. Through these programs the pupils learn about the elements of music and develop their ability to compose, as well as having fun with music. At the same time they develop their use of percussion, knowledge of music and instruments from around the world, singing and listening.
As well as class music there is a large choir which regularly competes in festivals at Hastings and Sevenoaks with great success. There is a String Orchestra, Wind Group, Recorders and flute groups and a Big Band. There are 10 visiting instrumental teachers so pupils are able to learn all the main instruments. Each term there are concerts and music assemblies for pupils to be involved in as well as the play which is traditionally a musical.
