Large Senior School Ensembles:

For anyone with a voice who enjoys a good sing. The repertoire covers Songs from the Shows, Gospel Music, Pop and the Classical Favourites.

Concert Band:

Open to players of Strings, Brass, Woodwind and Percussion of Grade 2 + standard. Repertoire includes Music from the Movies, Light Classical and Jazz favourites. An exciting tour of Austria is planned for October 2004.

Open to players of the Orchestral String Family. If you have a bow and you know how to use it, then come along on Thursday lunchtimes. Repertoire includes music from the Western Classical Tradition as well as some popular song arrangements.

Saxophone Group:

This group is made up of the whole family of Saxophones, from soprano to baritone sax. The group plays a variety of music but has a jazz bias. It is open to players of Grade 4 upwards.

An activity run for those with an enthusiasm for pop, rock and heavy metal. Louis Thorne (Guitar Teacher) takes this ensemble, rehearsing covers as well as looking at improvising techniques.

A rather loud group of musicians who enjoy hitting things. Led by our very own Steve Hynes. Repertoire is mainly based on original compositions written for the group and proves to be very popular among the many students who take drum kit and percussion lessons.

For all budding Brass players - from Trumpet to Tuba and beyond. If you can buzz and want to play a variety of music then this is for you.

Led by Alison Radley (Flute Teacher). Looking at small ensemble playing technique. Trios, quartets and the like.
