Music school and ensembles programme

About our Music School

Through our Music School, young musicians come together to play in bands, orchestras and chamber ensembles, learn music theory and sing in choirs. They also participate in regular concerts and events.

Hillingdon Music Service runs a structured, progressive programme of bands, orchestras and ensembles for instrumentalists and singers. Players must be having lessons either through Hillingdon Music Service or privately, and acceptance to an ensemble will be dependent on a pupil having the necessary skills and level to join, as well as a place being available. 

Players' ages range from young primary school children to post A-level students, and rehearsals take place on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings during term time. They are a great way to make music and meet new friends. 

Concerts are an important part of playing in an ensemble and all pupils are expected to perform as part of their learning. Senior ensembles may also be offered the opportunity to take part in foreign concert tours in July.
