Music plays a central role in the Repton community. We aim for all pupils to have the opportunity to make the most of whatever musical aspirations they may have, by exposing them to good music-making and giving them the opportunity to learn instruments and take part in concerts and events. Music in chapel reaches all of the School, as do the orchestras, choirs, jazz bands, wind ensembles, charity cabaret and house musicals which take place throughout each school year. Please check the School online calendar on our Home page, for the latest scheduled events.
For the truly talented practical or academic musician we provide top level tuition and performance opportunities alongside thorough careers advice. Those beginning their school career are given taster lessons in a range of instruments within the curriculum to uncover any previously unknown potential or passions.
The Music Department boasts fantastic facilities with 28 practice and teaching rooms and the remarkable performance spaces of the Beldam Hall and Pears' School provide space for larger works. The Music Department has recently benefitted from major reinvestment ensuring that our facilities remain amongst the best in the country. These refurbishments have included the installation of a Recording Studio and reflect the advances of technology in music-making.
Generous music scholarships are available for talented pupils who are able and willing to enrich the musical life of Repton School. Please contact the Registrar for further details.
