Music

Music has always been considered to be an essential part of a rounded education; even in the earliest years at Oxford University, Music was one of the seven liberal arts studied by all undergraduates. Music is all around us all of the time, and an ability to engage with it either as a performer or listener is crucial if we are to be any more than a passive observer. 

In Brighton College Music Department we believe in providing musical opportunities for everyone; opportunities which can stretch the most gifted instrumentalists and singers, but also those which offer the enthusiast a chance to be involved in music-making where the emphasis is on taking part in an enjoyable, corporate activity.

Sandy Chenery, the Director of Music writes:
Music at Brighton College is not an ivory tower activity for a gifted elite. The Music Department can promise a huge breadth of activity which ensures that there are opportunities to suit all musicians be they complete beginners on the guitar or members of the National Youth Orchestra, or National Youth Music Theatre. The extra-curricular programme encompasses all styles of music and provides opportunities for musicians at every level to become involved.
