Music Music plays an essential and central part in our lives at CCCS. It is taught from Nursery through to Year 8 as a specialist subject, helping to enhance and enrich the lives of all our pupils through performance, musical history, composition and analytical listening. The numerous different choirs and ensembles provide our pupils with a sense of team spirit and discipline that flows into all areas of their lives. A high level of individual achievement in music also leads to a feeling of self-confidence and esteem, not only for the choristers, but also for the vast majority of boys who take instrumental lessons from a team of expert and inspirational visiting teachers. This in turn produces annual success in music scholarship auditions, Associated Board examinations and in our own musical events. Music is taught as an enjoyable and fun activity underpinned by a strong work ethic and focus reflecting the need to maintain the high standards required in the Cathedral and Worcester College choirs and in all our music groups. The joy, release and musicianship required for good singing is at the heart of the musical process here. "Since singing is so good a thing, I wish all men would learne to sing" William Byrd (17th century English composer)
