On stage, together

Performing experiences throughout the year

Every student gets several chances to perform during the school year — student concerts and other performing experiences. They are relaxed, friendly occasions rather than auditions: nobody is judged, and every level plays, from a first five-note tune to a full piece.

Alongside the performances we run group games and musical activities, and parents join in too. It is the part families remember: playing for an audience is where all that practice at home suddenly makes sense, and where most of our students surprise themselves.
