At Carmel we aim to provide an environment where musicians can blossom and develop their particular strengths and talents, whether they are in composing or performing. We also aim to encourage students to broaden and appreciate a variety of styles of music at a deeper level. We in the Music Department believe that it is important for us to provide the basis of a life-long love for music through a course which is varied, challenging and, above all, enjoyable.
What our students say..."I enjoy the liveliness and strong sense of community in the Music department as well as having many opportunities to perform great music." (Daniel Antonio)
