Music

The Department

What the Music department may lack in size and space it certainly makes up for in enthusiasm, drive and enjoyment. The two teachers of music, Mr. Wicks and Mr. Winfield are backed up by an impressive selection of peripatetic instrumental teachers and all aim to make music at Marshland High School an enjoyable and richly rewarding experience for all.
