St. Anthony’s School provides a holistic musical education with an ethos of inclusion and excellence. Children of all abilities are catered for. In the classroom the children follow “The Right Note” music programme. Every child in the school also performs in annual Christmas concerts and shows. The school is particularly renowned for its Senior Choir. Up to 200 boys from 5th and 6th classes join every year and perform at the Christmas School Mass. Talented singers are often discovered and given ample opportunity to showcase their voices in small groups and in solo settings. We are also fortunate to have many instrumentalists throughout the school. These boys are all encouraged to perform on their own or in small ensembles or large orchestras. Boys from 3rd to 6th are invited to join the Senior Orchestra where the music is adapted to suit each individual. Musicians often come from outside the school to perform for the children and to introduce them to different musical genres.
The Cork School of Music operate a Music Bug Club in the school for Senior Infants which takes places weekly directly after school time. Contact
