MUSIC
Birkenhead College is well-known for its music programmes and its high participation in music. Our programme has strong contemporary elements with a focus on song writing and performance, which allows our students to explore and expand their creativity and musical knowledge. We offer a wide variety of activities that we encourage our students to be involved in. These include both solo and group song-writing/composition and performance (which includes opportunities to perform at Smoke-free Rockquest, Tangata Beats, Stand Up Stand Out, and Lion Foundation song-writing competitions). In addition to this we run a Concert band, Jazz band, and a Choir. Music is encouraged at all levels and tuition for most instruments is provided by our experienced itinerant tutors. Student achievement in this programme has become a focus for community interaction and involvement through high profile music performances at all levels. We also have a recording studio for students to immerse themselves in and learn the art of sound production.
