Music is a vitally important part of life and we want to benefit from as wide a range of musical experience as possible at school.
We want it to be experienced in all its fabulous and various forms and to offer as many opportunities as possible to make music.
We have many different kinds of drums, like bodhran and djembe, percussion instruments from around the world, stringed instruments like guitar, mandolin, kora ! violin, pianos and keyboards and flutes, recorders and clarinets. We benefit hugely from visits by musicians, singers, songwriters and have written and performed songs and instrumental pieces. One of our main aims is to encourage a love of music and singing in many different forms, for life, not just for performance.
This term we enjoyed Avenas, a string quartet, playing, demonstrating how their instruments work and answering our questions. Some of us were also able to conduct the group!
