Moreton Hall offers all girls extra music tuition in all orchestral instruments, including percussion. We also have tutors who offer Jazz tuition.
Our visiting teachers are highly qualified, many coming from The Royal Academy and The Royal Northern College of Music.
In January each year we hold auditions for Music Scholarships at 11+, 13+ and 16+; information may be obtained via the Principal’s secretary, Mrs. Mountford or you may contact Mrs. Carolyn Tilley– Director of Music to find out more details.
 
 

All girls who study an instrument have the opportunity to perform in informal lunchtime concerts as well as the more formal internal and external engagements.
Girls are also entered for competitions, such as the Oswestry and Chester Festivals, the Shropshire Concerto Competition and others if they wish to compete (it is not a must!!).

We also enter girls for the Associated Board of The Royal Schools of Music examinations up to Diploma level, with some excellent results and it is pleasing to note that UCAS is now rewarding Grades 6-8 with points equivalent to AS and A level qualification in recognition of the commitment needed to take grade at this level.

Aural lessons are provided by the school for Grades 6-8, in small groups of no more than four, to give the girls the best opportunity of attaining high marks in the very demanding aural tests at this level.

Here in the Music Department, we believe the girls should enjoy their music making; we organize tours abroad to give them the opportunity to perform in different environments, meet people from different cultures and experience some wonderful countries. We have toured to Europe, including Paris, Venice and Barcelona and with Shrewsbury School we have toured the USA.
We are already planning our next tour!!

All in all, Moreton endeavours to provide the best possible opportunities for girls to study music to the highest level according to their individual ability.
