Music

How to define music has long been the subject of debate; philosophers, musicians, and, more recently, various social and natural scientists have argued about what constitutes music. The definition has varied through history, in different regions, and within societies. Definitions vary as music, like art, is a subjectively perceived phenomenon.

All we know is that we enthuse our students to learn their instruments, have fun and produce excellent results!

We are based in the extension building and have two teaching staff permanently in the department and have a host visiting instrumentalists contributing to our work with the pupils.
