The school has a strong musical tradition, with over 500 instrumental lessons being taught each week and there are orchestras, bands, choirs, and ensembles at all levels.
In addition to the May Hall, where major concerts are held, we have a recital room and fifteen practice rooms in the Music School. A new music technology suite, recording studio, and a Sixth Form listening and study area complete these excellent facilities.
We recently took a Mozart opera and the Swing Band to Amsterdam, and a choir performed a series of concerts in Georgia. We regularly stage musicals together with the drama department - in 2004 pupils from our JuniorSchool (The Elms) joined students from Trent in a memorable performance of the Wizard of Oz.
The highlight of our year is the traditional Strawberries and Wine Concert held in the Marquee at the end of the Summer Term, where senior students are invited to entertain family and friends with a (very!) wide range of musical performances.
Please contact the Box Office to order tickets for our music events. Our main annual concert is held each March in the Albert Hall in Nottingham.
In October, we invite Year 6 pupils from local primary schools to join us for a day of “Making Music”. In the afternoon, parents, family and friends are entertained to a short concert with a variety of pieces which are then recorded onto a CD, presented to each participant. For details of how to apply for the “Making Music” Festival, please contact the School Office on 0115 8494949.
