Many pupils take up musical instruments with a view to being able to play in one or more ensembles.
Concerts at ¿ìÉ«ÊÓÆµâ€™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 ¿ìÉ«ÊÓÆµ’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.
