Music plays an important part in our life here at Northbourne. We try to instil a love of music in all children through music lessons, instrument tuition, concerts and musical productions.
| Most children learn an instrument and it is quite common for certain children to reach Grade 7 in at least one instrument before they leave us. For the past 2 years our pupils have won 3 music scholarships each year to leading independent schools in Kent. |

Each term we have informal concerts where children and adults can perform, no matter what their level.
All children enjoy class music lessons, and we have a large visiting team of instrumental staff who teach all orchestral instruments as well as piano. |

Our choir works to a very high standard and regularly performs at community events. Children play a range of music from classical to modern and jazz. Our school band is made up of students, parents and friends and the concerts are very popular. |

We also run a Saturday music club for our own dedicated musicians as well as children from the area, and each year we hold a week’s summer music school attracting back many of our former pupils and their friends too. |
