S. Anselm's School

Instrumental Lessons

The department is currently thriving with two-thirds of pupils in the school taking advantage of the wide-range of instrumental tuition offered.

Instruments currently on offer for tuition are:
cello, clarinet, double bass, drumkit, euphonium, flute, French horn, guitar (acoustic, bass and electric), harp, oboe, piano, recorder, saxophone, singing, trombone, trumpet, tuba, viola, and violin.

The peripatetic team, currently 12-strong, work hard to inspire the children, with incredible success. During the course of last year, many of our children - of all ages - sat ABRSM Music exams, ranging from grade 1 piano to grade 6 singing.

Some of our more advanced instrumentalists gain music scholarships to some of the country’s leading Senior Schools. Last year, three fine 5th year musicians – Isobel, Jake and Lucy gained scholarships to Malvern, Oundle and Repton.

In 2010, Nancy was awarded a Music Exhibition to Malvern College.
