Musical Life
The school music department is centred around the Concert Hall, a converted musical hall complete with seven soundproof practice rooms, rigs and staging as well as an organ. There are three specialist classrooms, including a Music Technology Suite. Emanuel's Chapel Choir has performed all over the world, in Venice, New York, Malta, Japan, and other locations. Music tuition is available in all major instruments. Ex pupil Matthew Raymond-Barker won the French X-Factor in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or life:
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
