Introduction

We have a busy Music Department where pupils of all ages have the opportunity to be involved in Music in a variety of ways.

Music is studied by all pupils in Key Stage 3 and it is an optional subject at GCSE, AS and A2 level. Music tuition is provided in strings and woodwind by the EA Music Service Tutors. Voice and guitar tuition is provided by independent tutors. At CBS Omagh there has always been a strong tradition of Irish traditional music. The traditional music group enhances many events both in school and outside.

The Department provides opportunities for all pupils from Years 8-14 to come together to enjoy and perform music. Pupils are involved in the preparation of music for the many school liturgies, and events. In addition to the Junior and Senior Choir and Traditional group there are other musical ensembles that perform at a wide range of events.
