Music at Babington House thrives as an academic subject, as an extra-curricular activity and an integral part of the school's assemblies and church services. The Recital Room offers the most up-to-date music technology, enabling pupils to develop their writing skills in composition.
Pupils are offered the opportunity to take part in ensemble performance as well as solo performance, including frequent informal and formal concerts throughout the school year. Our senior choirs are much celebrated and superbly coached. A large number of pupils learn a musical instrument, take vocal training and enjoy the school orchestra.
A team of professional musicians (peripatetic staff) offer pupils opportunities in vocal and instrumental training, where success in graded examinations is encouraged. Regular visits are taken to see performances and participate in workshops at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and Glyndebourne.
If you would like your child to sign up to music and/or singing lessons, please contact Mrs S Mean on musicadministration@babingtonhouse.com for an application form. All our music and singing lessons are conducted through individual teachers directly and parents will be invoiced by the tutor.
