What a musical time!
Y8 Minimalism in Class
Y8 have been learning about Minimalism in Popular Culture. They have listened to a wide range of minimalist pieces, and have composed a piece for one of the following briefs:
Year 6 & 7 Piano Evening
On Tuesday, Mrs Iles' and Mr Lovell's Year 6 & 7 students came together to perform what they have been working on in their lessons.
It was an opportunity to move outside their comfort zone and perform to an audience of families and peers. All students performed brilliantly, and they should be very proud of themselves.

Rock Gig
On Tuesday, we had our final Rock Gig of the year, and it was nothing short of spectacular!
Performances from all of the bands were superb, and demonstrated a high level of musicianship.
Some of our regular attendees couldn't make it to the gig, however students from other bands stepped up and helped in place of these students. It illustrated the sense of team at Rock School, and it was really special to watch - thank you to those students!
Well done to all, it was a brilliant evening of performances, and you should all be very proud!
Rock School returns in September, on Wednesdays after school. If you haven't already signed up, please do so now via this form -Â https://forms.gle/d66WERNkezBhFKNw7

Mr Stevenson's Drum Evening
On Wednesday, we enjoyed performances from Mr Stevenson's drummers!
Drummers typically tend to be sat at the back of bands, so we think it is important that they are also celebrated individually. It was a brilliant opportunity for students to be able to perform but also a chance for them to see and be inspired by other drummers.
Well done to all of the performers, it was a fabulous evening!

On Thursday, we celebrated our youngest musicians at Simon Balle All-through School. It was a great opportunity for families to see what our Year 2 & 3 Strings have been working on.
From Year 2 Strings playing 'Boogie Band', to Year 3 Strings performing solos and duets, to Year 2/3 Choir singing 'Summer Holiday', it was a fantastic evening. Well done to all of our performers!
