St Gabriel's Music

Good luck to all our abrsm music candidates taking exams today!

And the picture of year 11 composers working hard! #tuneuptuesday

Year 11 composers hard at work, writing a string quartet, a show doing and a piano piece today #tuneuptuesday

Many thanks to all musicians who recorded pieces for the virtual concerts this week. Nearly 50 students performed, across junior and senior departments - you were fantastic! Concerts coming out soon!

6G made the sounds of a rainstorm passing overhead in their music lesson today. Try listening with your eyes closed and see if you're convinced by their performance!

After learning the hook, chords and a fiendishly difficult body percussion routine to The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights', Y9 celebrated the end of their last music lesson before half term with their own version of the viral TikTok dance!

Another uplifting junior choir recording, courtesy of Mrs Page! Many thanks to all involved. youtu.be/RhHExCZa080
