This weeks Spring Concerts went off with a bang. Showcasing music from all over the world, decades and Genres, the children really rose to the challenge of performing to a live audience once again. We enjoyed pieces from our Choirs, year 6 hand bells, year 3 recorder groups, along side the newly formed ‘boys band’,…

What delight it has been to hear Lyndhurst musicians perform in our mini music recitals.  We heard children just beginning their journey learning a musical instrument perform.  It was impressive how confidently they walked to their instrument and performed with such composure.   We also had the opportunity to hear our more advanced instrumentalists including Lyndhurst’s…

A wonderful lesson with Year 1 who had great fun experimenting with the colourful boomwhackers this week! They tried out the sticks against different surfaces and materials to see how the sound differed. We also have a fantastic display and storage for our new Ukulele’s thank you to Mr Day for building this.

All with gloves on to protect the satin of course! They tried doing up the ribbons with the traditional cross overs, and looked…

An exciting week for the Music department here at Lyndhurst. Students have prepared, practised and rehearsed. They all performed brilliantly when taking their ABRSM exams for Piano and Singing grades 1-3 and we eagerly await their results!

Whilst listening to their favourite classical pieces the children really expressed themselves within the time and phrasing of the music with great delivery. Year 2’s have been enjoying listening to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony in Music this term. And then…

Year 5 enjoyed their Music lesson ‘al fresco’ this week. Mrs Peacock took full advantage of this gorgeous sunny day and took learning outside. The children loved being outdoors in the fresh air.

We were blown away by musical Lyndhurst talent with the recent Spring Recordings. These recordings took place instead of our usual Spring Concert this term. The children adapted to the filming of their performances like true professionals and their pieces were beautiful. Special thanks go to all of the children first and foremost for the…
