provide you with the range of skills you need to succeed in the industry.
Student Experience What Qualities Do I Need?
The Music Department benefits from outstanding facilities
including a digital recording studio, Apple Mac MIDI
suites and professionally equipped rehearsal rooms.
Every year, students get the opportunity to perform
in the school's 300 seat public performance venue,
The Obie Theatre, as well as at a range of external
venues. Our close relationship with The British Record
Ind ustry Trust and the support of the school's Governors
results in music students being invited to perform at
a range of prestigious events and venues each year.
Recent examples include The BBC Radio Theatre, The
Roundhouse and The National Portrait Gallery. It is vital that students are already actively involved in
musical activities both in and out of school. We are
looking for open-minded, reliable team players who are
focused and motivated. Being organised, responsible
and able to meet deadlines is very important to us. You
must also have an interest in the study of music as a wider
subject (not just performance) and have the initiative to
create musical opportunities for yourself and your peers.
