What does Cranleigh hold for the extremely gifted musician?

Parents of extremely talented musicians are often faced with the dilemma of whether to opt for a place at a specialist music school or to remain in mainstream independent education.

Whilst that decision is very much up to the individual, Cranleigh offers a structured programme of individual care which can effectively stimulate and nurture exceptional talent to the highest level.

Cranleigh boasts on its staff some of the finest instrumental and vocal teachers in the South of England, including Professors at the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

In addition to this, a pupil’s individual academic and extra-curricular programme can be adapted to cater for the demands of the development of exceptional talent.

There are many high-level performance opportunities each year, including solo concertos with the School orchestras and, for most able, with the professional Merriman Concert Orchestra.

Moreover, all this takes place within the wider school environment which recognises the importance of breadth of academic curriculum and other pursuits.
