Edward Button - Music/Oxbridge
At Warwick School, I studied Geography, Physics, Maths and Music at A Level. The excellent teaching I received in the Sixth Form and endless one-to-one encouragement from my form teacher helped me to gain a place to read Geography at Girton College, Cambridge. The teachers always went the extra mile!
After stints in Fundraising and Law, I am now a singer in the a cappella group, The King’s Singers. I travel for around seven months of the year performing up to 120 concerts all around the world. Alongside my onstage role as the group’s Second Countertenor, together with my five colleagues, I also run the financial and legal affairs of the group.
In my present career, the incredible musical and performance opportunities afforded to me in the Sixth Form were clearly significant formative experiences. But, just as important were the values I was taught at School; those of teamwork, respect and kindness to name just a few. It’s these values that guide everything I do and give me the tools to problem solve, grow and always strive for higher things.
