Cheltenham College Prep Music

Old and young, shouting love tonight… we’re ready for our performers to raise the roof and ‘sing it louder, sing it clearer, knowing everyone can you hear you’…

Congratulations to all those children taking part in The Lion King! What a show! 🎭 The hard work truly paid off 😄 🦁 🐘🦒🦓🦜🦛

Our Year 7 & 8 cast of Lion King were treated to an enthralling afternoon watching the West End professionals on tour at The Hippodrome in Bristol.

Today, a legendary composer turns 90. ❤️🎬 Wishing a very happy birthday to movie music maestro, John Williams!

It's Well-being Day in the PrePrep today, so in our Reception and Year 1 music lessons we listened to some amazing pieces by Beethoven, Elgar, Saint-Saens & Bizet and then illustrated what we heard.

The Music Department is an alternate universe where pupils are often unrecognisable from who they are outside of it. The shy become confident. The agitated become calm. The lonely become included. The quiet become heard. And the lost become found. Music reveals the real child.

Henry Hiscock joined us at the Prep in Year 7 and now years later look at this excellent achievement!! What a talented and brave musician to take on a musical masterpiece! 🎹👏

Well done to all of our musicians performing in our @CheltPrepMiddle and @CheltPrepUpper Christmas Concert! 🎤🎻🎺🥁🎄
