Grammar:
Throughout the year pupils in Grammar have been
encouraged to perform, whether in lessons, assemblies,
concerts or at school events. This has challenged pupils to
strive for high standards in their playing and commitment in
their attendance at rehearsals and extra-curricular activities.

The Grammar Winter Concert was well supported and
enjoyed by performers and guests alike. The show featured
performances from the Rock Band, rehearsed by Jeff Matthew,
as well as numerous chamber ensembles including a
percussion ensemble and a guitar group. Zeinab El Gazzah
(voice), Haya Abdalla (voice), Nabilah Abdul Talib (piano),
and Leen Bakhsh (violin) presented solos and the evening
was MC’d by Nadine Maarouf. The Prep Choir was invited
to perform at the concert and the Grammar Choir gave their
debut performance.

The Grammar Choir has gone from strength to strength over
the last year growing from just 3 members in its first rehearsal
to over 25 pupils. They recently performed at Celebration of
Achievement Day, which also featured pieces from Year 8
Rock Band, Haya Abdalla (voice) and Sara Al Saleh (piano).
The Music Department is looking forward to another exciting
year in 2019-2020!
