Many pupils take up musical instruments with a view to being able to play in one or more ensembles.
Concerts at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø’s Juniors are truly special occasions and the breadth of talent on display is astonishing.
Termly events include:
- A major concert in the Wathen Hall, showcasing the very best of musical accomplishment at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø’s Juniors.
- A concert for exam candidates, in which pupils perform a piece due for examination and receive feedback that will help them to achieve improved results – we are a centre for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music practical exams.
- An informal concert in our own music school, where developing performers can support each other in a relaxed atmosphere.
- Various instrument ‘taster days’ where pupils can try out new instruments. This has helped us to bolster the ranks of our ensembles.
- Masterclasses, during which pupils get the chance to play to visiting virtuosi who provide inspirational feedback in an open forum.
- Assemblies provide further opportunities for performance.
Performance opportunities are open to pupils regardless of whether they receive tuition within school or outside.
