Music in the 6th Form

 

The opportunities for making music at the Cathedral school are many and varied. Whether you are a musician who is already involved in the music of the school, an incoming student from another school wishing to throw yourself into the new activities offered in a different environment or whether you would like to start your musical career in the sixth form there will be something on offer which will present a new challenge or create some variety and stimulation for you in your school life.

Bristol Cathedral School has a long and proud tradition of music making at the School. Choristers have been educated for over 800 years and musical endeavour stands at the very heart of its foundation. Music is stronger now then at any other point in its history. It boasts numerous choirs, orchestras, jazz groups, rock bands and chamber ensembles. All of which perform to a highly regarded and in some cases, nationally acclaimed level. It is a place where musical creativity in all its aspects is encouraged and it is above all, a place where students grow to have a deeper understanding, enjoyment and love of this very special subject.

Music making is best enjoyed with other people. Below are some of the activities on offer at the school. Please feel free to come along and try out any of the ensembles.

Times of ensembles rehearsals

There are several more informal groups happening at various times during the week. Please contact Mr. Seymour if you are interested in finding out about bands or indeed if you are interested in starting a group yourself.

Instrumental tuition

Instrumental tuition is available on most instruments. Music lessons are organised for sixth form pupils during study periods. Lessons last for 35 minutes and cost £13.50 per lesson. If you are interested in receiving music lessons at school please fill in the Instrumental tuition form, available from the school.
