Percussion

Percussion has grown in recent years to become a notable musical specialism of the Cathedral School.  Our two professional teachers provide both orchestral and standard drum-kit tuition.

The percussion teaching is of great importance in the music department and there are over thirty pupils of percussion in the School. The Junior and Senior Percussion Ensembles perform in most School concerts and have taken a prominent part in our Partnership programme with other local schools. The groups plays very challenging music to an extremely high standard, working with great skill and enthusiasm. The School possesses a wide range of percussion instruments including a xylophone, marimba, vibraphone and timpani as well as several drum kits.
