Music

Kensington Prep School has a thriving Music department with ninety-seven per cent of pupils learning a musical instrument from one of a team of 13 visiting music teachers.

As well as having weekly Music lessons, girls are able to join many clubs, choirs and ensembles. We have three choirs, three orchestras and several chamber ensembles and our main orchestra has over 80 players.

All instruments are available for girls to learn from Year 2 onwards. These include: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Harp, Guitar, Drums, Recorder, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Cornet, Trombone, Piano, Singing and Music Theory. There are presently over 250 music lessons taking place each week. Last year, over 140 girls took ABRSM Music Examinations. The levels being achieved range from Grade One through to Grade Eight.

The Year 6 girls regularly obtain music scholarships to secondary schools including Godolphin and Latymer, Francis Holland, Putney High, Wycombe Abbey and the City of London.
