Learning to play a musical instrument offers numerous benefits that extend far beyond music itself"
Mrs Donia Pieters, Head of Music
Music enhances cognitive abilities, improving memory, concentration and problem-solving skills.
Learning an instrument also encourages discipline and perseverance, as well as time management. Consistent practice is essential for progress. Moreover, it boosts creativity, emotional expression and self-confidence, providing a positive outlet for stress and anxiety.
Mastering an instrument builds a sense of achievement and accomplishment, instilling a lifelong appreciation for the art of music and enriching one's overall wellbeing.
We offer individual music lessons for a wide range of instruments within the School day for pupils who wish to broaden their musical talents:

Lessons for pupils in Years 2 to 10 are taught during the School day and last for 40 minutes.
Many instruments come in a range of sizes to make them accessible for very young children, and our Music Department is happy to offer advice on when a pupil should start learning their chosen instrument.
Pupils who learn an instrument become very confident members of our community and go on to perform in School concerts, events and performances. They also build friendships and learn skills that are transferable to other areas of School life.
The School also offers the possibility of hiring instruments, which allows pupils to start learning without a large initial financial investment.
