MUSIC Are individual music lessons available? Our team of highly qualified and committed visiting musicians provide specialist tuition, within a rotating timetable, to around 200 children each week. In addition there are around 250 private lessons taken outside school. Do you have any scholarships or bursaries available? Music Bursaries and Sykes Organ Bursaries, providing free lessons for all or part of a pupil’s school career, may be available. They are offered to existing pupils who show particular aptitude and potential and who are willing to consider instruments which are less popular but have significant roles in band or orchestra. In addition two 25% Fee Music Scholarships are available each year for students who show outstanding musical potential. What can my musical studies lead to? Preparation for Associated Board Practical and Theory Examinations culminates in a termly visit by an examiner to the school; in recent years, 17 of our students have reached Distinction level at Grade 8. A number of our recent leavers are studying music at university or conservatoire, including Oxford, Cambridge and the Royal Northern College of Music.
