From large inclusive choirs to scholarship level individual musicians, all children are encouraged to love and respond to music. 85% of the children between the ages of 7 to 11 receive individual music lessons at school by highly experienced music teachers.

Music provides a pleasure, challenge and enrichment which should last well beyond the school career of a Manor pupil. Music at The Manor is not only for talented individuals who may ultimately choose a career in this field; all pupils are encouraged to develop an interest in making music.

Formal and informal involvement in choirs, orchestras and a wide range of instrumental ensembles, contributes to the development of commitment, motivation and teamwork. We also hope it will lead to a lifelong enthusiasm for music for above all – music making should be fun.
