Instrumental lessons 2022

By

Welcome Year 7s

Y7 students that would like to receive free instrumental lessons should speak to their music teacher to express their interest.

We offer lessons in violin, cello, guitar, vocals, piano, drums, sax, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and bass. As these lessons can be quickly oversubscribed we operate a waiting list system so that students can quickly get started once spaces become available.

As we no longer have a bubble system in place we will also be running a range of extra curricular music clubs.

On Monday lunchtimes we will be offering woodwind ensemble, jazz collective, vocal group, and Y7 guitar club. After school we offer a 6 week music production and songwriting course. Contact us here if you are interested in joining.

Piano Donation is a Wonderful Musical Gift for FHS Boys

By

A big thank you to Jackie Davis and her father James O’Kane for the donation of a beautiful Yamaha piano that we now proudly house in the music department. It really is a gorgeous instrument and we are so grateful to Jackie and the family for letting us have it.

James, or Seamus as he was also known, was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Portrush. He was an architect, artist and fabulous pianist. He would practice on this piano for hours and often sat in the dark playing in tranquility.

He was a very very kind and gentle man but always had a story about everything and told endless jokes and incredible stories. He really was loved by all.

We are hoping that this wonderful gift sparks the same love of music in our students that it clearly had for Seamus throughout his life.

 

New Guitar and Drum Lesson Lists

By

After half term more students from the waiting lists will be moved into our lunchtime and after school guitar and drum clubs.

Check the lists on the music noticeboard to see the new cohorts and if you’re still on the waiting list we will look to get you started next term.
