Head of Music

Eaton House Belgravia is alive with different performing arts, and the opportunities to get involved and to have a moment to shine are there for every single boy.

Boys get the chance to experience performing in many musical ensembles, plays and competitions throughout the year. We want the boys to experience the magical and transformative power of the performing arts, whether that means making music together in a concert or acting in a play and hearing the audience laugh and cheer.

Music is a vital part of school life, from carolling at Christmas in the Elizabeth Street Christmas market to winning House music colours for outstanding contributions to musical life.

Weekly class and music assemblies encourage the boys to perform in front of an audience, and we hold regular singing events in the community, from the Royal Marsden Hospital to nursing homes and Christmas charity fairs.

There are a number of musical ensemble events each year and these events are greatly enjoyed by both staff and pupils. The majority of our pupils play one or more musical instruments.
