We have awarded Grace in Y9 with Music Star of the Fortnight for her brilliant film music composition. Using a clip from a Star Wars movie as her source of inspiration, she has created a piece of music that experiments with different techniques such as ostinato. Well done Grace!

We have awarded Music Star of the Fortnight to Georgia in Y7 for her brilliant solo version of ‘Rude’ by MAGIC! This is a complicated song to play due to the reggae element of syncopation, made even harder for her by singing the melody on top. Fantastic work Georgia!

Lucy in Y9 was invited to play a selection of pieces on the piano as a form of light entertainment during afternoon tea at The Palace Theatre in Paignton this weekend. She played beautifully and was a credit to the school. Well done Lucy!

We have awarded the final Music Star of the Fortnight for this half-term to Eloise in Y12. This is as a result of their musical development and hard work this academic year. In last week’s gig, they played in every single song, showcasing countless hours of dedication. Well done!

We have awarded Music Star of the Fortnight to Liam in Y10 for his recent exceptional development in improvisation. This has grown through his guitar lessons, regularly using the practice rooms at school and rehearsing at home. Congratulations Liam, keep it up!

Last Wednesday, a range of Y8 students performed in 'Battle of the Bands'. The students have been working on their songs for a number of weeks, and performed to the entirety of Y8! Everyone played well and got into the spirit of the gig. The winners are soon to be announced...

Last week, forty students from Years 7-13 watched the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra perform a magnificent celebration of John Williams’ Star Wars scores across the saga. The students were awe-struck by the full-force of the symphony orchestra and behaved impeccably as always.

On Tuesday, TQ1 had the brilliant opportunity of working with @NTConnections at @TRPlymouth to put on a show of ‘Old Times’ by Molly Taylor. The students also took part in varying workshops and were professional throughout. Congratulations to the students on a great performance!

@HelesDrama @TRPlymouth Congratulations on a great performance!

A dream to perform @TRPlymouth to a sold out audience alongside @SpiresArtsTech

More success is coming through! We’d like to offer our congratulations to Lucy in Y8 and Lucy in Y9 for their brilliant performances in the recent Torbay Music Festival. Well done both of you!

Some of our students performed at the Torbay Music Festival this weekend, gaining great results! Dexter in Y11, Nina in Y8, Mia in Y9, Kayla in Y8 and Denis in Y9 were all awarded with certificates as a result of their brilliant performances. Congratulations everyone!

It’s been busy for our musicians this week! On Wednesday our sixth formers performed to students @SherwellValley primary school and on Wednesday evening, musicians from Y9 to Y13 performed to an audience of over 200 at The Griffin Bar in Torquay. All involved were excellent!

We’ve got a brand new show for you to watch! Please join us next Tuesday or Wednesday evening for TQ1’s production of ‘Old Times’ by Molly Taylor. Tickets can be bought via Parent Pay, at reception during school times and on the door both evenings. We hope to see you there!

We awarded Isaac in Y12 with Music Star of the Fortnight at the end of last half-term, as a result of his brilliant efforts in music. This goes across him supporting guitar and drum club, his performance in Mary Poppins and leading his KS3 band club below. Congratulations Isaac!

On Tuesday the Royal navy visited the college and ran a 'Ready, Steady, Cook!' competition with our year 11 hospitality and catering students. Well done to Courtney and Amy who won with their fabulous sticky toffee puddings.

Lily in Y7 has been awarded Music Star of the Fortnight for her fantastic work on the 12 bar blues in class. Congratulations Lily!

We’ve awarded an extra Music Star of the Fortnight before the end of term to Dexter in Y11. This is his great performance of ‘Mélodie’, a Grade 7 Trinity piece. Congratulations Dexter!

We've had more instrument exam success this week! Charlotte in Y10 has earned a Merit for her Grade 1 Piano Exam, and Isabelle in Y9 has earned a Pass for her Grade 3 Piano Exam. Congratulations both of you!

Caleb in Y12, a Food Science Student, has won a place at the National Finals of the ICG Aspiring Student Chefs Competition ‘22-23. This is being held at Bournemouth College in January. Well done Caleb and good luck!
