BE A SPECIALIST MUSICIAN
FOR A DAY

If you are interested in our Specialist Music School, we suggest that you join us for one of our Be a Specialist Musician for a Day events as the first step; these events are held throughout the year. Through these events, you will see what life is like for a Specialist Musician at Wells, find out what it really means to focus on your music and gain a proper insight from our pupils. These days are aimed at pupils who have a real passion for music and have already reached a certain level of proficiency (not beginners). They are ideally suited to pupils in Year 6 and above.

During the day you will: 

• be introduced to our Music Co-ordinators 
  • Ross Brown, Brass Co-ordinator 
  • John Byrne, Keyboard Co-ordinator 
  • Christopher Finch, Vocal Studies Co-ordinator 
  • Edward Leaker, Co-ordinator of Woodwind, Jazz and Popular Music 
  • Jayne Obradovic, Percussion Co-ordinator 
  • Simon Smith, String Co-ordinator 
• have an individual consultation lesson with our Co-ordinators on up to two instruments
• attend an academic music lesson appropriate to your age
• be invited to join an improvisation session (if suitable)
• have a tour
• see a live lunchtime concert.

There will also be an opportunity for parents/guardians to meet with Karen Finch, our Strategic Music Planner, to discuss music categories, the process and finances.
