At Boundary Oak, the opportunities for making music are endless. Each year brings new and exciting musical ensembles and performances, festivals, musical theatre productions, orchestral concerts, competitions and, more recently, ‘virtual’ rock band performances.
Our talented, experienced specialists in the music department nurture talent, supporting and encouraging pupils to have the confidence to make a debut performance or the skills to take music grading examinations.
The dedication and enthusiasm shown by pupils and staff is infectious – and that manifests itself in exceptional results.
Many of the children learn an instrument with one of our team of visiting peripatetic music teachers who are themselves well-known orchestral players, singers, and gigging band musicians. More than a third take part in a weekly musical co-curricular club such as choir, orchestra, musical theatre or rock band. Music lessons are very popular with many pupils sitting Associated Board and Trinity exams each term.
Learning how to play an instrument or sing is a rewarding and valuable experience for everyone. The benefits are huge, ranging from the instrument-specific techniques themselves, to the development of cognitive skills, self-discipline, confidence, and a fostering of good emotional intelligence.
