Be a Specialist Musician for a Day

If music is your passion, see what life is like for a Specialist Musician at Wells, the only UK school that offers a government-recognised specialist music programme within an all-round school. You will find out what it really means to focus on your music and gain a proper insight from our pupils. Please note that these days are ideally suited to pupils in Year 6 and above.

During our virtual 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
• take part in a virtual question and answer session with some of our current pupils about being a specialist at Wells 
• attend an academic music lesson appropriate to your age
• be invited to join an improvisation session (if suitable)
• have a virtual 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.

We will be monitoring the current Government safety advice on Covid-19, and we may make the decision nearer the time to hold our Open Day as a virtual event for the health and safety of our school community.
