CO CURRICULAR
Music Music plays a central part in the life of the school and even the very youngest boys have the chance to perform regularly. From the Nursery upwards they are taught in our well-equipped department and many learn to play a variety of musical instruments. All boys start learning the recorder in Year 2 and every boy leaves St John’s able to read music. There are many opportunities to join choirs, orchestra, the wind band, brass ensemble, drum club and other groups. We put on an extensive programme of concerts both in and out of school. Every year our boys have the opportunity to join older musicians from Merchant Taylors’ School in a concert at the Company’s livery hall in the City. In recent years our musicians have enjoyed great success in local music festivals and outstanding individuals have won music scholarships to senior independent schools.
