Dulwich College Prospectus
Music
Deeply rooted and treasured
Music is here for all the boys and it flourishes in the academic curriculum. As a large school we benefit from substantial numbers of boys committing to orchestras, choirs and bands, from string quartets to rock bands, chapel choir to House choirs, from Baroque style to contemporary music technology. As many boys are Grade 4-7 in standard, we can be ambitious in our choice of repertoire and venue, with performances at St Paul’s Cathedral, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, King’s College Cambridge, St John’s Smith Square, Cadogan Hall and Southwark Cathedral.
Superior stringed instruments are made available to boys as part of a Music Award where appropriate, and state-of-the-art technology facilitates the study of ambitious and contemporary composition techniques. The College has an enviable record of entry to higher education including scholarships to Oxbridge, and the London conservatoires.
Music Scholarships
Our focus is specialist musical talent, nurturing those boys who are highly gifted. Scholars are assigned a mentor to ensure their progress is nurtured and maintained. Our aim is to teach Music Award holders what a professional musician does through a programme of performing, composing, history and analysis.
