Music

At Mercy College, music students are offered a wide choice of instruments with tuition available from a variety of visiting music specialists. Every student who is having instrumental lessons has the opportunity to perform for family and friends at school concerts and recitals which are held throughout the year. These allow students to gain confidence and develop performance skills.

Around one hundred and fifty girls participate in Mercy College's music program. Every music student has an opportunity to perform in one of the bands, ensembles or choral groups appropriate to her particular level.

Mercy College Music Groups include:

• Senior Concert Band
• Junior Concert Band
• Rock Bands
• Jazz ensemble
• Percussion ensemble
• College Choir
• Chamber Choir
• Guitar ensemble

All ensembles have opportunities to perform at the school concerts held each semester or at other events throughout the year. In a relaxed yet controlled situation students develop their own instrumental skills, learn to follow a conductor, improve listening skills and read music with greater fluency.
