Music is an integral part of the school curriculum and community at St Anne’s. It is offered as a subject and as a co-curricular activity. We see music as a form of expression, a skill to master, and a talent to explore, and it is our goal to equip our girls with the knowledge and attitude for ongoing enjoyment of music in the practical, theoretical and technological fields.
Music Department
Our Music Department is a hub of hard work, laughter and fulfilment, where we strive to develop a love and appreciation of music amongst all girls while maintaining the highest musical standards.
Subject Music
Music is offered as a subject from Grade 8 to 12. The specialist music staff provide one-on-one and group lessons, instilling a love and appreciation for music through practical and theoretical training.
