Music is an integral part of everyday life at King Richard III College and is included in the curriculum in Spain. Music is not an option at every international school in Mallorca so we are extremely proud of our musical success both in exam results and in public performances.

As a valued subject, all students in Key Stage 3 receive 2 lessons of Music per week folllowing the British National Curriculum, while students in Years 10 & 11 may opt to do Music IGCSE and our most senior students may complete the AS and A2 qualifications in Music.

Music is seen as a vibrant form of communication and an extension of the bi-lingual education offered at King Richard III College. With a Music room equipped with keyboards, 3 pianos, guitars, recorders, and a large collection of tuned and untuned classroom percussion instruments, students are encouraged to participate in practical work in small groups and class activities and to learn to respect Music from different genres, cultures, countries and periods of history. Students develop the ability to describe and analyse Music using the correct terminology and to contribute confidently in discussions and performances.

Every year over 50 students take part in our winter musical productions such as The Wiz, Bugsy Malone and West Side Story and each class in Key Stage 3 prepares a musical presentation for our showcase at the School Prizegiving ceremony at the end of the Summer term.
