Music is taught as a part of the Durham curriculum but we believe it is also very important to give all pupils the opportunity to further develop their musical interests and talent. Throughout the school, we strongly encourage every pupil to learn an instrument and participate in musical events.
 The school provides outstanding facilities for music and an array of peripatetic music teachers will be available to work with pupils to develop their skills. Lessons will be available for pupils who wish to pursue studies of piano, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, voice and drums. In addition, opportunities will be available for pupils who wish to study musical production and recording techniques.
