 Mr Daniel Robson BA PGCE |
There is a very strong musical tradition at Clifton which encompasses all forms of music, both old and new. Academic music is part of the Year 9 curriculum; after this, students may opt to do GCSE and then A level. There are many extra-curricular groups which offer a complete range of musical styles, from the more traditional Chapel Choir and Orchestra to Soul Band, Swing Band and many other pop bands. Participation in music is extremely high and there are many performance opportunities ranging from the annual musical and large scale concerts to informal performance platforms. Events such as the Choral Congers Concert and House Singing competition involve the entire school.
In September 2009 the newly refurbished Joseph Cooper Music School was opened and boasts some of the finest school music facilities in the country. As well as a recital hall and 15 practice rooms, there is a 4 room recording suite and 3 classrooms, two of which are fully equipped with Apple Mac computers. Software used includes Cubase, Pro Tools and Sibelius.
