Music forms a vibrant and essential part of life at Princess Helena College and encompasses a wide range of activities, both formal and informal. Girls of all ages and ability are encouraged to foster an appreciation of music, to take examinations (GCSE, AS & A Level, Practical and Theory), or simply play for pleasure. Up to 60% of pupils choose to take individual instrumental or singing lessons.

Informal Recital

There were some lovely performances by girls from Years 7, 8 and 9 at the lunchtime concert on Friday 4th December.

The informal concerts are an opportunity for girls to play to a small audience and a great way to build up performing skills.
