The selection for our KS2 Choir and the Percussion Ensemble has been completed. Successful students and parents will be informed within this week. Do not be disheartened if your child has not been accepted! Auditions will be held regularly to add new members to our ensembles.
KS1 Choir auditions are ongoing and will be finalized by the end of the week.
Thank you to all parents for visiting us on our Open Day!
We are happy to have met you in person and hope you had a good time. We also hope that we could answer your questions and provide information that is useful to you.
Please check this website for regular updates and information on the Music Department. For any other request, do not hesitate to get in touch via email!

A lot of parents asked about where to buy instruments for their kids. For guitars, I recommend this shop in Puxi:
World Wide Music
433 East Jin Ling Lu
Most of Jin Ling Lu is full of music shops, and you can take a look at other stores to compare prices! Be aware of fake instruments which I of course do not recommend.
Good guitar brands include Yamaha, Ibanez, Taylor and Aria.
I suggest to start with a Spanish guitar and after 2 – 3 years add/switch over to the electric guitar. Not the other way round! In any case, I do not recommend electric guitar for kids younger than 12.
Also ask the shop attendant to advise you on the right size of instrument for your child.
