Music is a lively and central part of the school throughout the sixth form, with lots of new opportunities becoming available. Quite apart from studying Music or Music Technology, girls may audition for Soul Band or Chamber Choir. Music A-level students often form the core of excellent talent in Senior Orchestra, and each year girls are selected to try directing and conducting ensembles such as Junior Orchestra. There are regular opportunities to perform in front of the whole school, and also to accompany ensembles. Girls are selected to become Music Reps to assist with organisation of events, as well as being able to gain experience backstage and of working as a sound or lights technician. Music A-level is well established in the school and the girls always achieve good results. Grade 5 Theory is recommended and you should be grade 6 on your main instrument when you begin the course. Lessons are conducted in a variety of ways, often to assist the girls with differing learning styles and to encourage original approaches to study. Experience and understanding are boosted with trips to concerts and shows. Music Technology A-level was made possible by the opening of the studio in SAM. This year we have equal numbers of girls doing Music and Music Tech, although Music Tech continues to be an extra subject studied after school hours to allow longer sustained periods when recording and editing.
