Music for Everyone

At Aiglon College Switzerland, music is an integral part of the curriculum for all junior school students. Each child learns to play an orchestral instrument through weekly individual lessons. In music classes, students sing, learn to read music, compose, and improvise. Weekly rehearsals prepare students for chapel services. Ensemble experiences in wind and string instruments provide opportunities for collective music-making.

Nearly half of the senior students at Aiglon College Switzerland continue to engage with music. Students can choose to take GCSE and IB courses in music. The curriculum is rich with events, musical activities, concerts, competitions, and trips. Music is accessible to all students, from beginners to advanced, from individual lessons to school-wide performances.
