Music
The Music Department is creative and dynamic, offering hands-on lessons that inspire, engage and motivate students to be musical at all times.
The Music Curriculum at AHS:
The Music Department has invested in a wide range of new equipment to enhance students’ practical learning. With a full class set of djembe drums, keyboards and glockenspiels, alongside new guitars, amps, three drum kits and four electric pianos, students have everything they need to explore their musical talents.
Our spacious department includes three practice rooms, a live music room with a recording studio, and an iMac suite equipped with professional music software – creating the perfect environment for creativity and performance.
