Music

Music plays an important role at Glenalmond both academically, through the Music Department, but also outside the classroom where there are a number of thriving music societies.

Orchestral and chamber music is part of the curriculum and regular lunchtime recitals are held in the Music Hall.

Pupils are encouraged to join the Chapel Choir which performs regularly during the year throughout Scotland. Many of our best singers go on to represent Glenalmond in regional and national choirs. There is also a busy Opera Club.

Many of the inter-House activities at Glenalmond are based around our passion for music, from a battle-of-the-bands type competition, to the 'House Shout' where each House sings its heart out against the others, as well as the annual fundraising Give Gig.

Glenalmond also stages a memorable Choral Day for Junior Schools every year where pupils from some of our feeder prep schools join members of the Chapel Choir to sing in front of parents and invited guests.

And of course, Glenalmond's musical reputation would not be complete without mention of our acclaimed pipe band which in recent years has played at Lords' Cricket Ground and at the Perth 800 celebrations.
