Music

On Sunday 21st October the Stepping Stones School hosted the HemiHelp Music Workshop which attracted budding musicians to come for the day and have a chance to perform within a group. It was very much a family occasion where brothers and sisters, Mums and Dads were encouraged to join in.

The event was organised and run by Sally Motley and her team of talented musicians who each delivered a session, from singing to playing percussion instruments and boomwhackers, beating drums, and making digital music on a computer.

Sally commented on the day:

"It was a brilliant venue and the feedback that we've had about the workshop has been excellent."

The looks on the faces of those who took part, clearly show that everyone had a great time. Curiously enough, I wasn't quite sure who enjoyed it more, the parents or the kids!

Take a look at the photographs taken on the day.

Four talented young musicians played to an audience of parents and members of staff, showing the work they have achieved in music.

Their work is impressive, especially the compositions created using the PrintMusic software. Having that capability allowed them to unleash their understanding of music without having the concern of being able to play it.

The individual pieces were also very notable examples of how the pupils' skills have progressed in only a year. We will soon be editing the footage from the afternoon's performance and joining that with some footage shot a year or so ago.

Congratulations to the pupils and to Linda, our music specialist for her commitment to giving the pupils the best possible experiences.
