Job overview
The music department at King’s is a friendly, busy environment in which pupils thrive: last year, a pupil won a full scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music. King’s pupils hold places in the National Youth Training Choir and Kent County Ensembles. In 2023, a King’s pupil won the Medway Rotary Young Musician competition.
In 2023 and 2024, pupils have secured places to study the Organ at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and the Royal Academy of Music. The department boasts two harpsichords and six pipeless organs, three of which are on loan to pupil organists. Organ pupils also receive tuition on the cathedral organ and there are close links with the cathedral music department.
