The performing arts are a vital part of life at All Hallows. In both Music and Drama, opportunities abound for the beginner, the enthusiast and those interested in trying something new. A wide range of performance platforms is provided so that all pupils are able to take part and flourish.
How music and drama fit in to the curriculum
Throughout the school, music is taught by specialist teachers who are trained and experienced musicians. The Director of Music teaches all children from Year Five upwards and our Junior Music specialist inspires our younger children.
Drama lessons are part of the curriculum in years 5, 6 and 7 although chances to perform exist for other year groups.
Elective music lessons
In addition to music in the classroom, we currently have twelve visiting teachers offering one-to-one lessons on Piano, Violin, Viola, ‘Cello, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Drum kit, Guitar and Voice.
Extra-curricular groups
Supporting and extending all this, we offer our pupils a wide range of extra-curricular groups and activities, designed to inspire all and develop the specialist. To find out more click through to more about music >>
Chapel Choir
Chapel Choir is the only auditioned music group in the school and caters for the most able singers. It sings at Mass every week and leads the Carol service. In recent years, Chapel Choir has sung at the Vatican (2006), at Westminster Cathedral (2010) and Wells Cathedral (2012). It has been invited to sing Mass at Westminster again next year.
Speech and Drama
Speech and Drama lessons are available from Year Four upwards. These (paid) lessons allow pupils to develop their dramatic and presentation skills in more detail, leading (where appropriate) to LAMDA exams and the chance to compete in the Bath Festival. Click through to more about drama >>
