Performing Arts

WHERE GIRLS FIND THEIR VOICE.

From the classroom to the concert hall, girls are encouraged to perform, create and express themselves with confidence. Whether she's taking her first steps on stage or preparing for a music scholarship, every girl has the opportunity to discover her talents and develop a lifelong love of the performing arts.

Music for Every Girl

Music begins early at Rowan.

In Year 1, girls can take part in our Rowan String Initiative, learning either the violin or cello and building a strong musical foundation from an early age.

As girls progress through the school, they can continue to develop their skills through:

  • Individual music lessons with specialist teachers
  • Orchestra and ensemble groups
  • Instrumental tuition across a wide range of instruments
  • Music scholarship preparation
  • Associated Board examinations

Our dedicated music rooms and practice spaces provide the perfect environment for girls to learn, rehearse and perform.

A School That Loves to Sing

Singing is at the heart of Rowan.

Our Junior and Senior Chamber Choirs welcome girls of all abilities, while Rowan Singers offers an additional opportunity for those who enjoy performing as part of a smaller ensemble.

Using the Kodály approach, girls develop the skills and confidence to sing independently and read music from an early age.

Throughout the year, our choirs perform at school events, within the local community and at prestigious venues, including Southwark Cathedral and the London Lyceum Theatre.

Drama That Builds Confidence

Drama provides girls with the opportunity to develop creativity, communication skills and self-confidence.

Performance opportunities are built into school life, from assemblies and curriculum projects to dedicated drama activities and LAMDA.

The highlight of the year is the Year 6 production, where girls perform in a fully staged production complete with professional lighting, sound and costumes.

Beyond the Classroom

The performing arts don't stop when lessons end.

Girls can take part in a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, including:

  • Choirs
  • Orchestra
  • Instrumental ensembles
  • Drama clubs
  • LAMDA
  • Musical productions

At Rowan, performing arts aren't simply about learning an instrument or standing on a stage. They're about developing confidence, creativity and the courage to find your own voice.
