Open Morning Saturday 14th May 2016 To register interest or for more information please contact: [email protected] [phone] The Michael and Vibeke Herbert Music School Music plays a vital part in life at Junior King’s. Each day brings many musical experiences for the children to enjoy from the boarders’ early morning practising, through our church and assembly singing which sets the mood for the day. Class music lessons, specialist instrumental tuition and many evening concerts with visiting musicians take place throughout the term. We believe that nurturing the musical gifts and talents of children through music lessons and performance can have many benefits. They foster creativity, build confidence, teach patience, show how to work as a team, encourage selfdiscipline and complement other aspects of our broad curriculum. It was with this in mind that the School embarked on an ambitious project to fund, and build a new Music School which would be of the highest standard and provide new opportunities for the children’s music potential to flourish. We are delighted to have received so much generous support for this project. Over three quarters of a million pounds of fund-raising during the past year has enabled our dream to become a reality. We hope that this wonderful new facility, shared with the local community, will continue to attract outstanding pupils, staff and visiting professionals to a school providing some of the best music facilities amongst Prep Schools in the United Kingdom.
