The school will reserve 21 places (10% of total admissions) for girls selected on the basis of aptitude for music and a further 52 places (25% of total admissions) for girls selected by academic ability.
Testing for musical aptitude: Round one is an aural test of approximately 30 minutes’ duration and does not require any previous knowledge of music or music theory. There will be 60 questions in total in four sections: pitch, rhythm, texture and melody. The highest scoring candidates will be invited back for round two to perform a single piece on their chosen instrument or vocally. This will be a free choice of piece, which should last no longer than three minutes. As there is a free choice of instrument and piece, it will allow candidates of all abilities and all cultures equal opportunity to succeed. Those invited back will be given an individual appointment during the school day. The outcome of the test of musical aptitude will be notified to parents on or around 21st September 2024.
