Composition and Song Writing

An integral part of the school’s Project Based Learning initiatives is making space for our songwriters to excel.  Through regular teaching with specialist tutors and masterclasses our songwriters are very active.

In recent years, we have had three students qualify for the national album for the 'Play It Strange' competition, with Neil MacLeod (OC 2016) featuring on Seven Sharp - click here to view his performance.
