Mr Mercer replaced Miss Fraiser as Second in Command in the Music Department, and during Mrs Matthews' absence, he became the Acting Head of Music.

Mr Mercer is well known for having a sense of humour. He is a nice teacher and a very 'happy chappy', in his own words.

Musical Capabilities

Mr Mercer plays the piano and clarinet as his primary instruments, however he has amazular-tastic skills on any keyboard-related instrument. Mr Mercer is much easier to weasel away from than most other music teachers on the subject of band/choir/woodwind group/jazz group/senior band attendance, and also can be known to do a rather nice dance.

Embarrassing Moments

• Mr Mercer showed his ability to caper during a school concert on various musical composers, and ended up doing a monkey impression for 'Gee Officer Krupkee'. If you didn't see it, you missed out...

Mr Mercer:No...whats 7 Minutes IN Heaven? Wait, it's you two, do I WANT to know?

(Next day, in a Music Lesson)

Nicola: Sir, do you know what 7 minutes in heaven is yet?

Mr Mercer:Umm...is this an appropriate topic for this class?

Trivia

• Mr seems to only like his old form, 09G, who he just natters about on to Annie McCloskey and Bronagh Whytt-Thorban, since they show off about their music playing and writing.

• He is famous for having a folding forehead while talking.

• A few forms have been successful in persuading him to do a cartwheel during his lessons, he is never successful and the result is hilarious.

• Mr Mercer can snap his fingers insanely loud, bringing any of his classes to immediate attention.
