Music at Charterhouse
One of the great strengths of music in Charterhouse is the quality of teaching.
There are six full time staff, all of whom bring a considerable breadth of professional experience to their teaching, providing pupils with a huge variety of musical opportunities at the highest level.
Music Scholarships are generous and competitive and the Director of Music, Mark Shepherd, usually meets prospective Music Scholars and their parents at the outset of their process of choosing a school.
Whatever the musical interest of pupils, Charterhouse offers them a stimulating musical environment to help them reach their potential.
To make an appointment to meet Mark Shepherd, please contact the Recorder, Mrs Margaret Mardall, on 01483 291585.
