Description

Today ​we're ​sitting ​down ​with ​Edward ​Allen, ​Director ​of ​Music. ​Now ​in ​his ​8th ​year, ​Edward ​oversees ​the ​day-​to-​day ​running ​of ​RHS's ​large ​and ​vibrant ​music ​school, alongside ​a ​team ​of ​almost ​30 ​staff.

RHS ​​is ​proud ​to ​boast ​an ​outstanding ​provision ​for ​musicians ​of ​all ​abilities ​and ​style, ​and, ​with ​its ​unique ​naval ​heritage, ​the ​department ​is ​also ​home ​to ​a ​ceremonial ​marching ​band. ​We ​talk ​to ​Ed ​about ​RHS's ​expansive ​music ​provision, the opportunities pupils have to perform at high profile events, their overseas tours, ​what ​happens ​in ​Congo ​every ​Saturday ​morning, ​their ​upcoming ​house ​shout, ​and ​how ​he ​had ​to ​wait ​until ​his ​feet ​could ​touch ​the ​pedals ​before ​learning ​the ​organ!
