Music : home AimsThe aims of the Music Department are twofold, embracing both the academic and applied aspects of music education. Academically our aim is to deliver excellent results at GCSE and AS/A2 levels while nurturing talent that will enable boys to participate fully in the activities we offer such as Choir, Orchestras and a variety of Ensembles. An extensive Associated Board Music Examination programme is also on offer, helping to provide a structure which enables the boys to progress in their musical studies. StaffMr D.
