The Music department is able to offer practical instrument performance on a variety of instruments including; guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, drum kit, keyboard, voice and tuned percussion, with the aim towards performance qualifications. Pupils are encouraged to work on two instruments of their choice and must respect and be responsible for the care of these instruments. We offer national qualifications in Music and Music Technology.
