Music

At Homefield we believe that music should be an essential part of the all-round education that the boys receive. Music lessons are part of the curriculum and all boys from Reception through to Year 8 have regular music lessons. The boys learn how to read music, sing from notation or by rote, play recorders, keyboards and tuned percussion, leading to composing their own music. 80% of the boys also choose to take individual musical instrument lessons.

Our facilities include a purpose-built music suite with keyboards, drum kit, concert xylophone, glockenspiel, classroom percussion and computers (with Sibelius and Cubase), a fantastically equipped percussion studio plus four instrumental teaching rooms.

"Pupils display high levels of musicianship and enjoy writing their own music as well as playing it."
