Music

The Music Department at Methody is a vibrant and thriving community where Middle and Senior School pupils are encouraged to develop their talents and performance skills. Methodist College Belfast is one of Northern Ireland's leading schools for music, with a vibrant and inclusive programme that nurtures talent across all age groups.

Music is deeply embedded in the life of the College, with pupils participating in a wide range of ensembles, from orchestras and choirs to jazz, swing, and traditional Irish groups. Led by a team of highly skilled educators and peripatetic teachers, pupils receive opportunities to perform in venues such as St Anne’s Cathedral and the Waterfront Hall.

The College is particularly renowned for its choral tradition, with groups like the Girls’ Choir and Junior Singers gaining acclaim through radio and television performances. Weekly rehearsals and a packed concert calendar ensure that every pupil, regardless of experience, has the chance to develop their musicality and perform publicly.
