Music
Balwearie has a thriving music department with many opportunities for students through courses in both Music and Music Technology. As well as students learning to play a wide range of classroom-based instruments, the school has a variety of visiting instructors covering different string, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments as well as the piano, guitar, bagpipes and pipe band drumming. There are many extra-curricular groups in the department run by Music teachers and visiting instrumental instructors where pupils are able to take part in both the Christmas and Spring concerts, the Fife Festival of Music and numerous other performing opportunities throughout the year.
For students studying Music and Music Technology in S4-6, support is available in the department. Students should approach Music staff if they require a space to work (e.g. at lunchtimes) or equipment to complete work at home. There is also a dedicated Composition support session on Monday lunchtimes with Mr Harlow in C307.
