MUSIC AND CHORAL SCHOLARSHIPS
The School offers a number of Music and Choral scholarships, further details can be found below:
TOURS
The Department runs regular trips both in the UK and abroad. These include; a chamber music course in October at various locations, a triennial orchestral exchange with the Heinrich-Suso Gymnasium School from Konstanz, Germany, and in most years we run an international tour for the different ensembles.
MUSIC SOCIETY
Hampton has a thriving Music Society run by parents to support the Music Department by helping at concerts, and providing financial help for special projects. The most recent of these projects is the ‘Rare Beasts’ scheme, which supports new boys at Hampton who wish to take up an instrument which is less common at School (for example, the Bassoon or the French Horn).
Music Tuition
Instrumental and vocal tuition is available to all members of the School, by application to the Director of Music, on any orchestral instrument, Piano, Organ, Modern Guitar, Drum Kit, Jazz Piano and Saxophone. There are currently 26 visiting music staff, all of whom have excellent reputations with many being prominent performers in their field. Timetables for musical tuition are posted in the main corridor and also on firefly. Theory and Aural lessons are also available.
Diary of Music Events
There are many performance opportunities at Hampton, and each term the School has a busy diary of events. The following are due to take place during the summer term:
All concerts are open to parents and friends of the School.
