Music is an integral part of the education offered at Reigate Grammar School. The Department aims to develop the musical potential of every pupil and create opportunities for those with high ambition and for those who wish to take part simply for fun. The emphasis is firmly placed on diversity and versatility as seen in the varied and challenging concerts held throughout the academic year.
In addition to curricular music lessons, the School offers individual tuition on a number of instruments: piano, organ, flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, violin, viola, cello, trumpet, cornet, trombone, horn, euphonium, tuba, classical/electric/bass guitar, drums and percussion. We also provide free tuition for Grade V Theory and Grades VI-VIII Aural.
Every pupil is encouraged to join an ensemble as playing and performing with others is an essential part of any musician's development. Concerts are held throughout the year and there is also an annual Community concert which brings together all the School's musicians, staff, parents and pupils alike, to perform the major works.
Music Scholarships are available for children entering the School at 11+, 13+ and 16+. They carry a reduction in fees of £1,000 per annum which can be supplemented in cases of need up to a maxiumum of 100% of the school fee.
