Abingdon Prep School Prospectus

Music Music is celebrated and enjoyed across the school, with class music lessons beginning in Reception and allowing boys to experience a range of music from classical and jazz to folk, pop and African drumming. There are plenty of opportunities for every boy to perform, whether in our informal recitals, the annual House Music Festival, or our whole-school concerts at Christmas and in the summer. From Year 1 we offer individual music tuition on a wide range of instruments, including free ‘taster’ lessons, and boys also have the chance to join our various orchestras, choirs, and ensembles. There is provision for boys wanting to pursue music at a higher level, with many achieving excellent results in the Associated Board instrumental exams and winning music scholarships to senior schools. Regardless of a boy’s age or ability, playing for enjoyment as well as improvement is encouraged.
