Pupils
RHSC Music Department have an enthusiastic team of two class teachers and a number of peripatetic instrumental instructors.
Our instrumental instructors visit the school each week to provide tuition for instrumentalists and singers. These lessons take place throughout the day on a rotational basis to ensure that the students don’t miss the same lesson each week.

In Year 9 students will have two hours a week of classroom music, where they can continue developing their musical skills and prepare for the GCSE music course.
