Introduction
Pupils' understanding and enjoyment of Music are fostered through an active involvement in performing, composing, listening and appraising. They experience musical traditions and styles from a variety of cultures, times and places. The Music department is excellently equipped and pupils have the opportunity to learn a number of instruments in their classroom music including violin, guitar, keyboard, drums and bass guitar. They are also encouraged to make good use of the one instrument that is freely available to all: the voice. There are regular performance opportunities both at school and at Stowfest, a prestigious nearby music festival. Visiting teachers provide lessons. Many pupils take advantage of extensive extra curricular opportunities.
