Chamber Music

Students are encouraged to form their own groups, with the help of a teacher or other staff member and to compete in the annual competition in June. This provides excellent performance experience and is a vehicle for students in senior music classes to fulfil the group requirements of their course.

Rehearsals take place in the student's own time.  Meetings are held early in the year to assist groups in the selection of members and appropriate music.

Rock Bands

Students are encouraged to form their own groups for the Rockquest competition. Those interested in competing in the Rockquest competition are given guidance and support by Mr Drabble.
