Musical Opportunities

The Music Department at JTHS gives students the opportunity to learn any musical instrument and participate in a number of ensembles that perform regularly at public events.  A team of highly skilled instrumental and vocal tutors visit the school every week and prepare students for their Associated Board exams from beginners through to Grade 8 and beyond.  We currently offer instrumental tuition for all String, Woodwind and Brass instruments, as well as Guitar, Drum Kit, Piano/Keyboard and Vocal lessons.  Please see Mr Lloyd in the Music Department for further details.

We have a vibrant extra curricular programme which caters for all abilities and gives students the opportunity to socialise with students from different year groups who share a mutual passion for music performance.  Please see the timetable below for the range of activities available and when we rehearse.  Ensembles include Concert Band, JTHS Singers and the Jazz Band.  All ensembles perform in the school's Christmas and Summer concerts as well as invited soloists, bands and a variety of instrumental and vocal chamber groups.  Our ensembles also receive invitations to play within the wider community outside of school.  Music also plays a big part in whole school events such as Awards and Presentation evenings.  

JTHS is also well known for it's Musical Productions.  Recent successes include "Annie", "Joseph", "Return to the Forbidden Planet" and "All shook up".  Watch out for the next Lower School Production of "Grease", which promises to be spectacular!
