The band directors Mrs Annie Larsen and Miss Emily Smith have been impressed by the perseverance of the young musicians, and the strong musical skill set they are developing. “The band is blending their sound really well. The sum is greater than its parts is applicable here: the band is becoming one new instrument and the students are playing as a team” said Mrs Larsen.
“The students love performing and were very happy to showcase their favourite songs on assembly” added Miss Smith. During lockdown the students had to transition to remote lessons and this allowed parents to also observe what happens in a music lesson, and to see first-hand the music pedagogy developed for beginner musicians.
