Students can pursue their preferred style in performing and free composition, while the written paper is based on a range of set works selected from classical, pop, film scores and world music. There are lots of opportunities to play and sing in orchestras, jazz bands and choirs. Many smaller groups (like classical ensembles and rock bands) get a chance to showcase their work in our weekly lunch time concerts. The college provides 30 minutes' weekly free instrumental/vocal tuition to A level music students with our team of visiting music teachers. There are master classes and workshops given by professional performers, plus trips to a range of live music events.
