Music at Chesham Prep
At Chesham Prep, music isn’t just a subject, it’s a core part of school life and a pillar of our exceptional performing arts provision. Every child, from Nursery to Year 6, receives specialist music lessons twice a week, led by our experienced and passionate music teachers. From the first beat to the final performance, our pupils are immersed in a rich, joyful musical curriculum that builds confidence, creativity and technical skill.
Our dedicated music department is well-equipped, with class sets of ukuleles, glockenspiels, djembes, MIDI keyboards and SoundTrap for digital composition, ensuring that children experience both traditional and contemporary music-making. Whether it’s singing in harmony, mastering rhythm or composing their own pieces, pupils grow into capable, expressive musicians.
A School Where Every Child Performs
From the earliest years, all pupils take part in concerts, nativities, and full-scale musical productions, building stage presence, performance skills and a true love for the arts. Our five school choirs, including the auditioned Senior Choir and inclusive Singing for Wellbeing clubs, offer outstanding opportunities for vocal development, while a range of instrumental ensembles, including Orchestra, Wind, Strings, Brass and Guitar Ensembles, ensure that musicians of every level are supported and challenged.
Specialist Tuition & Musical Excellence
We deliver over 170 individual music lessons every week through a talented team of visiting professionals. Our pupils thrive under expert guidance, preparing for ABRSM music exams which can be taken right here on site, thanks to our status as an official ABRSM exam centre. This ensures every child benefits from a familiar, supportive setting as they progress through their musical journey.
