International :: Epsom Girls Grammar School

We have a large and award-winning senior school orchestra as well as a junior one. There are many other instrumental groups, a number of outstanding choirs, a vigorous drama and dance programme; strong cultural performance groups, an exciting visual arts programme and very strong speaking and writing programmes in which International students have taken part.

Epsom Music

Epsom Girls Grammar School is proud of its tradition of music. There are many opportunities for students to participate in music groups, sing in choirs or learn voice or an instrument.

With many past pupils active in the music industry, Epsom can provide students with excellent learning experiences and the foundation to enter further study.

Instrumental and Vocal Tuition

Well-qualified visiting teachers give tuition in the playing of musical instruments and voice. This is free for International students.

All string, woodwind (including saxophone) and brass instruments are taught, along with percussion (including drum kit), singing and jazz/rock guitar. Group keyboard and electronic organ are also available. Girls are taught in small groups during school time but on a rotating timetable to minimise disruption to other subjects. The itinerant system is not intended to cater for advanced students, or students wanting individual tuition. Preference for lessons is given initially to students who have their own instrument or can arrange to hire an instrument outside school. The school has a limited number of instruments for hire by pupils. Instruments are allocated according to individual need and in the first instance preference is given to students taking music as an option.

School Ensembles and Choirs

Students at Epsom can be part of a number of music groups, ranging from small chamber ensembles, jazz and rock groups through to the Concert Band, Orchestra and the Festival Choir with over 100 members. A range of musical styles are catered for. Groups rehearse, perform and tour regularly, taking part in inter-school music festivals and competitions.
