Blundell’s School – Math’s Department

The school’s website describes music at Blundell’s as a thriving centre of excellence through ambitious concert programming, passionate and expert teaching and dynamic and forward-thinking opportunities. Blundell’s pupils perform in the world’s best venues and work with the country’s finest musicians. Many of Blundell’s pupils go on to read Music at top universities and conservatoires. The music building consists of the original building attached to the main Hall of the Big School dating from the late 19th/early 20th century and consisting of music practice rooms. A 2007 extension provided a formal entrance foyer, music classrooms and a recording suite. The building’s fabric consists of brick/render/stone external walls and aluminium windows under a slate pitched roof. Works were carried out in a phased manner, whilst the school remained in live occupation. The initial procurement of these works was through a two stage open book tender process. This refurbishment and extension has created functional, modern facilities, consisting of the following:

• Soundproof drum and percussion room 
• Soundproof live room with adjacent recording room 
• Music Technology classroom with Mac Suite for Editing/Production 
• Specialist Classroom 
• Key Stage 3 classroom 
• Practice rooms for instrumental lessons 
• Practice rooms for small groups 
• Ensemble performance and rehearsal room 
• Secure instrument storage in the form of secure lockers 
• Library of printed and digital music 
• Industry quality equipment and instruments 
• Foyer and reception as a ‘main’ entrance
