Honiton Community College Music Department is a vibrant place. We have a great curriculum which is varied and broad ranging. We strive to ensure every child who wants to develop their abilities in music and learn an instrument can be supported to do so. We have fantastic facilities, experienced teachers and an ambitious aim to offer the highest quality music provision to all students. We have two well-resourced classrooms, a wide range of instruments, a suite of 20 iMacs, a Recording Studio and practice rooms which can be booked by students at break times. We have a dedicated and experienced peripetetic team of instrumental teachers. We regularly give concerts and have a vibrant enrichment programme which includes a House Band, Taiko Drumming Ensemble, Singing Group, Guitar Group and Song Writing. We work closely with our partner Primary Schools and the Devon Music Hub and aspire to be a Lead School for Music and provide Music Centre provision for the local community. 

Students at Key Stage 3 are given feedback midway through each teaching cycle. Skills assessed are Performing, Composing and Listening. Assessments take place at the end of each Cycle during assessment week. 

If students study this subject at GCSE, they can progress to a range of Music courses at Post 16 college.  The skills developed in GCSE Music would ultimately help with various career possibilities in recording, sound engineering, media, entertainment, teaching, music therapy and many more.
