Starting in 2013, the Music department has offered a programme that offers every boy in Year 7 free group tuition on voice or in one of seven wind, brass or percussion instruments.
"We have been extremely impressed this term with how hard the boys have worked. It is incredible to think that only three months ago the boys had not even touched the instruments that they performed on with such dexterity in the concerts!" said a stement on the school's website
"Several members of the audience who are stalwarts of these events commented afterward that these were the most successful concerts of their kind since the programme’s inception. Perhaps most impressive of all was the teamwork the boys demonstrated at the end of the concert, joining forces to perform especially devised arrangements of Mash Up Blues and Under the Sea.
"The programme could not be a success without dedicated support from all staff in school, inside and outside the music department, parents and of course the boys themselves. Thank you to all those who have helped to make these concerts a success."
