Lesson request forms are available from Miss Fletcher.

 

Music Clubs
There are many music clubs available and all of them are free and for fun. There are concerts each term where students can perform.

We currently run:

  • String Group
  • Folk Group
  • Orchestra
  • Big Band
  • Keyboard Club
  • Choir
  • and Chamber Choir

Plus many students use the rooms to practice in their own bands and when there is enough interest we run the steel band.

 

 

Music Concerts
Most terms there is at least one concert and often there are more. The regular events include:

  • Year 7 Concert in October
  • Christmas Concert in December (next year there are plans for a Carol Service in Wincanton Church)

  • Summer Concert in July

 

 

Music Trips
