Music

"Music plays a central part in the life of Norwich School. From the daily hymn in cathedral assemblies to musicals, symphony concerts, recitals, jazz, rock and pop performances, and five hundred individual music lessons each week, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We offer exceptional opportunities in all aspects of music, including instrumental study, ensemble playing, composition, jazz studies, choral music and cathedral choristership.

The Department gives regular performances in Norwich Cathedral, the School Chapel, Barbirolli Room, No.1, St Andrew’s Hall, and other venues across the region. There are over one hundred events each year, including concerts, masterclasses, workshops, chamber recitals, competitions, visits and outreach.

Pupils study music for many reasons: some play purely for pleasure; some go on to read Music at the UK’s leading universities and conservatoires; some pursue successful professional careers as singers and instrumentalists.

More than 20 ensembles are available each week - orchestras, concert bands, jazz bands, choirs, guitar groups, percussion groups and the school’s Choral Society (which combines both school and adult choirs).

A team of 30 visiting music teachers provides instrumental and vocal tuition at both Lower School and Senior School. The Department stages a musical theatre production each autumn to sell-out audiences. Recent productions have included Les Misérables, West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sweeney Todd, We Will Rock You, and Chicago.
