An Exciting Term of Music

Last term Norfolk House put on an impressive Easter Concert, where pupils displayed great technique, confidence and talent as well as the diversity of their performances. Thanks to all the parents and family members who attended the music events and supported Norfolk House’s musicians.

Summer term will be another exciting term for music.  All pupils will attend a Music Focus Day on Wednesday 30th May and in addition will enjoy a great variety of music activities throughout the term:

• Forms 5 and 6 will attend a Gamelan workshop and have the chance to perform on authentic Balinese instruments.
• Form 4 will create their own musical instruments.
• Form 3 will explore mood in music and will be inspired to write their own stories matching a given music piece.
• Form 2 will create their own album covers using ICT.
• Pre-Prep will explore the musical story Peter and the Wolf.
• Reception pupils will discover music from different parts of the world.

The House Music Competition is also coming up this term, which will give Forms 3-6 the opportunity to demonstrate their musical talents.  Auditions will take place during the second half of the term and the final performance will be attended by pupils and parents.
