Y13 Listening

Raising the Grade

The Y10 GCSE group piled onto a minibus on Wednesday afternoon to zoom off to the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. They spent the afternoon clapping, stamping and singing along with Sinfonia Viva (a professional orchestra) and had a really good time!

This event was organised by the Nottinghamshire Music Hub, which provides you all with loads of great opportunities to get involved in making music outside of school time. If you want to find out more why not come and ask one of your music teachers, or check out this list of all the groups you could get involved with:

What's on?

Week beginning 3rd March

A reminder to all instrumental students:

If you are not able to attend your music lesson at the scheduled time, you MUST let Mr Emery know so that it can be re-arranged. This avoids wasting time and money and ensures you keep making brilliant progress on your instrument.
