Music
Mrs Savill leads music at Katherine Semar schools.
Mrs Savill leads a team of 10 peripatetic teachers who teach at Katherine Semar offering musical instrument lessons. From trumpet to piano and drums to clarinet, from trombone to upper strings, our talented music teachers work brilliantly within the school to create musicians. Almost half of our children now play a musical instrument in addition to our specialist music teaching.
Katherine Semar boasts its own orchestra, led by the celebrated Mrs Janet Wheeler, whose own website can be found here. Our orchestra welcomes members of the school community who have reached Grade 1 or above and is also accessible for the parents and grandparents of the children in school. It has played at the prestigious Saffron Hall and performs in other music concerts each term. We also have two choirs, which perform within school, to the local community and at the O2 Arena.

To mark the end of the school year, the children of Katherine Semar Musical Theatre club wish to say goodbye to you!
Our Year 5 and 6 choir had an unforgettable time performing at the Young Voices concert at the O2 Arena. The atmosphere was electric, and it was wonderful to see the children singing their hearts out alongside thousands of others. They were an absolute credit to the school—full of enthusiasm, confidence and joy throughout the entire event. It was a truly lovely experience that showcased not only their musical talent, but also their teamwork and pride in representing the school on such an impressive stage.
