16 Music Scholarships
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and
charm and gaiety to life and to everything. plato
Music at King's College continues to go from strength to strength. The
College supports a large number of ensembles, choirs and orchestras and has
established a rich and varied programme of concerts and recitals throughout
the year. The award-winning choir leads the weekly Eucharist service and
the College has recently produced a number of professional singers. The
three full-time members of the music department are supported by a large
and experienced team of peripatetic instrumental teachers; virtually every
instrument is catered for.
The Music School is well equipped, with a concert room, practice rooms,
recording studio and it suite. Both Music and Music Technology are popular
and successful subject choices at a level. The Chapel is one of Taunton's
premier concert venues and other spaces, such as the Woodard Room and the
theatre, are often used for performances as well.
The School seeks to attract pupils with musical talent and ambition who will
contribute with enthusiasm to the wider musical life of the College.
