Recordings
With the continual improvement of the John Peake Music School's technology, so too the technology used for recording purposes has become far more abundant in the department. The Recording Studio provides a fantastic environment for lighter music, whereas the two chapels provide amazing acoustics for the recording of classical and sacred music. This has inspired Bishops Music to undertake recording processes and, in so doing, giving boys a better understanding of both music and the processes involved in making a CD.
All the recordings can be purchased at the School Shop, which can be contacted on 021 659 1970.
