Music is a vibrant and integral part of life at Hampton. Boys of all abilities are encouraged to develop their talents through an extensive programme of ensembles, choirs, chamber groups and bands. From classical performance to contemporary music-making, pupils benefit from exceptional opportunities to perform, collaborate and achieve at the highest level.
The School offers a number of Music and Choral scholarships, and our scholars play an integral role in the musical life of the School. Further details can be found below
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.
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.
Facilities
Music has been part of Hampton School life for generations. Today the department is based in The Garrick, a purpose-built music facility that offers practice rooms equipped with Steinway pianos, music studios and teaching spaces. The School hosts around 50 music concerts a year with many performed in the professional Hammond Theatre.
The Music Department runs a full calendar of events throughout the year.
