Every pupil receives class music
teaching in which they sing, listen to and create their own music.
In addition, the majority of boys choose to start playing an instrument
- the full orchestral range is available, as well as piano and guitar.
Weekly rehearsals of instrumental groups as well as regular concerts
provide a focus for these studies, as do music exams.
Each year, pupils take part in the IAPS Orchestra
and Band courses run at a national level. A strong tradition of music
drama exists in the school too, several operas having been written
for - and performed by - the school! Choral opportunities of a high
order exist for every pupil, and the choristers of Christ Church Cathedral
and Worcester College are all educated at the school.
