The Cornwall Hill College Music Academy is one of the largest, liveliest and unique in Gauteng. We believe that cultural activities play as an important role as sports and academics which furthers our holistic approach to a well-rounded education. With a huge array of ensembles, orchestras and choirs and more than 28 specialist music staff, the School’s Music Academy is a department we are most proud of.

 

More than 70% of pupils at Cornwall take part in musical activities throughout the year and there are opportunities for all types of musician, from Classical, Jazz and Contemporary to Rock n Roll.
