The Duke of York’s Royal Military School enjoys a generously resourced Music Department, which spans all aspects of School life; academic, co-curricular, military band, as well as supporting dance and drama productions. The 60 strong Military Band benefits from dedicated practice, time, and is at the heart of the School’s ethos, values, and tradition. The Military Band or its Drum Corps perform at numerous events within and outside of the School, providing the accompanying music at our weekly parades. The School’s military history and tradition continue through the advancement of wider music in the School with generous support from our sponsor, the MOD. The School invests in three instrumental staff teaching woodwind, percussion, and piano/organ.
We run a successful Military Band project, giving all Year 7 students the opportunity to learn how to play a military instrument for free. For students demonstrating great promise and expertise, we offer scholarships for the duration of Year 8, which present a pathway to join the Military Band at a minimum Grade 3 entrance level.
The School now seeks to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and creative individual to develop and enhance the Woodwind Teaching and to provide expert tuition to students of all year groups learning woodwind instruments.
