Piano

Wellington School is the first All-Steinway independent school in England, and has 16 beautiful new pianos, including several concert grands. These wonderful instruments are in constant use for practice and performance ranging from A Level lessons to Year 7 choir rehearsals, from a diploma piano lesson to the Big Band’s rhythm section.

In 2021 the School replaced all pianos throughout the Prep and Senior School with a number of Bosendorfer grand pianos and Yamaha uprights.

In Autumn 2012, Wellington School launched a Piano Competition, to provide a platform for talented young pianists from schools and colleges across the South West, as well as our own students. The competition attracts a wealth of talent and the event provides a truly inspiring day and music-making of the highest order. 

This is an annual event with a Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced class and the winners in each class travel to London to participate in a recital in the celebrated Steinway Hall. 

We celebrate our pianists and run an annual “Two Piano Malarkey” to showcase our fabulous students.
