Today we're sitting down with Edward Allen, Director of Music. Now in his 8th year, Edward oversees the day-to-day running of RHS's large and vibrant music school, alongside a team of almost 30 staff.
RHS is proud to boast an outstanding provision for musicians of all abilities and style, and, with its unique naval heritage, the department is also home to a ceremonial marching band. We talk to Ed about RHS's expansive music provision, the opportunities pupils have to perform at high profile events, their overseas tours, what happens in Congo every Saturday morning, their upcoming house shout, and how he had to wait until his feet could touch the pedals before learning the organ!
